this essay discusses the evolution of Aldo Clementi's music language through the analysis of the compositions for Solo Violin: The Concerto for violin, 40 players and carillons (1977), the Fantasia su Giorgio moEnCH, for solo violin (1985), the Sonate Y. (2002), the Concerto n.2 for violin (2006) where Clementi tends towards an extreme simplification of counterpoint and of the polyphonic structures, avoiding a canon internal to the solo part (used in the first Concerto) and using the soloist as one of the voices of the general plot.
