In this interview, Jérôme Thiébaux, professor of music education, looks back over his career and discusses the different experiences that led him to come into contact with, understand and practice mediation. This article is an opportunity to grasp the various forms—but also the different names—that mediation takes on, while reflecting on what makes it special. Jérôme Thiébaux's thoughts allow us to consider the position adopted by those who practice mediation in different fields, both in the educational activities of orchestras and in teaching. His original point of view thus leads us to understand the relationships between mediation and pedagogy and to rethink the relationships that are established within the classroom.

AbstractThis article seeks to examine some of the problematic issues surrounding the term “postmodern.” The late work of Luigi Nono (1926-1990) provides an interesting foil to such a study. Works such as Omaggio a György Kurtág (1983-1986) and Fragmente-Stille, an Diotima (1980) shocked and surprised many of Nono's long-time collaborators. The fragmentary forms and intensely intimate nature of this music created the impression that a profound rupture had occurred in the composer's stylistic and technical development. This presumed rupture was perceived by many commentators as indicative of the apparent decline of modernism (the 20th century avant-garde), and of the beginning of a new, so-called postmodern approach to art and culture. The author first demonstrates that the appearance of rupture in Nono's personal development is overstated. Secondly, he discusses the fact that a concept of postmodern music is misleading in that it turns attention away from important aspects of continuity in music composed during the final decades of the 20th century.

Through five themes, this article summarizes a long, friendly email exchange between composers Jean-Luc Fafchamps (Belgium) and Michel Gonneville (Quebec), which occurred between October 2020 and January 2021. They each speak about the other's music, and particularly their recently written and produced operas. They compare their respective creative approaches, situating themselves in their own national contexts. Sharing experience as teachers, the authors finally evoke the responsibility of transmitting not only knowledge and a musical culture, but also the taste for and pleasure in aesthetic discovery.
