Abstract
This text explores the basics of Ruben Radica's composing poetics, starting
from his intimate view on the interrelation between structural and psycho-logical actions. According to him, the interrelation is based on a controlled
organization of structure, which should create a specific psychological effect
on the audience. The interrelation between structural and psychological actions
is explained as an interrelation between harmony and comprehensibility - the
two concepts that play a crucial role in Schonberg's circles. The interrelation
is also presented through certain non-musical patterns. This is the case in
Pasija, 19 & 10, and Sonetne bagatele - the composer uses the power of
semantics (Pasija, 19 & 10) and the structure of a textual model (Sonetne
bagatele). Now, there is a question whether music is up to the compositional
and technical tasks conceived by a composer. Radica thinks that setting up
tasks that music is not even "aware" of and can solve easily, would mean
that music itself is absolutely pointless and redundant. Therefore, special
attention is devoted to the exploration of the horizontal and vertical as the
compositional and technical tasks implicit in Cetiri dramatska epigrama (2nd
and 3rd movement), Concerto abbreviato, and Tri sonetne bagatele (parts 1
and 3). It is important for Radica's composing poetics that he doesn't reveal
all the "secrets" of his music for that would only draw attention to domains
which music is getting ready to conquer - not yet knowing whether it's going
to succeed and remain there.
