Luciano Berio’s Sincronie for String Quartet (1964) has been the most frequently analyzed work among the five string quartets of the composer. No study yet examined how this piece is related to his other works in compositional techniques or interests. In this thesis, I suggest that six textural ideas, each of which generates a distinct texture involving various musical parameters, associate Sincronie and Berio’s five orchestral works written in the 1950s– 60s: Nones (1954), Tempi concertati (1958), Allez-hop (1959), Epifanie (1961), and the first movement of Sinfonia (1968). In these pieces, the textural ideas give perceptible shapes to the composer’s characteristic harmonies, and delineate the overall structures. Thus, they indicate not only an unnoticed relationship between Sincronie and Berio’s other works, but also a significant aspect of his music in the 1950s and 1960s.
