“Fatum,” uses a popular way of notating <strong>the</strong> rasgueado. The first chord is given<br />

Example 5.4 Rasgueado in Sequenza XI by Luciano Berio. Page 1, system 3.<br />
Luciano Berio’s Sequenza XI is a fourteen minute tour-de-<strong>for</strong>ce that contains<br />
many different types of rasgueados. Berio states that he was trying to fuse elements from<br />
<strong>the</strong> classical and flamenco styles in this work. He says, “In Sequenza XI two instrumental<br />
and gestural styles are also present, one having its roots in <strong>the</strong> flamenco guitar tradition,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r in that of <strong>the</strong> classical guitar.” 2<br />
