Muscial Verbalization in the Narrative Diction of Anthony Burgess

Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature Works grade: 74 University of Salford course: Anthony Burgess and his Contemporaries language: English abstract: This essay demonstrates that instrumentation may be not suggestive. Be it an incidental music or a formal text the very nature of authorship may permit a Pyrrhic ''pun'' by means of which its analogical ''devices'' -in general- may work against their ''own'' means of duality.As a preliminary approach to such self-destructive duality in specific we are being proposed to ''devices'' being repressed a midst two denominations namely;the transcendental realm of the octa-tonic scale and the narrative diction of Anthony Burgess. These devices include but not restricted to;''the evasive cadence'' ''petro-musicology'' ''elevator music'' ''the chromatic scale'' and ''the diatonic cycle''. It gratifies the schematic approach of Anthony Burgess towards his understanding of music but exclusively traces the wayward musicality of misunderstanding.
