Kogoj’s Original Invention of ‘Chord Permutation’ in the Opera Black MasksHis Theoretical and Compositional Contribution to Slovenian Opera in the First Half of the 20th Century

SUMMARY

The decoding of Kogoj’s intriguing numerical labelling of chords in this discussion presents an important step ahead in understanding of Kogoj’s invention of so-called chord permutations. The use of those is confirmed and situated within an aesthetic and dramatic context of the opera Black Masks (based on a drama by L. Andreyev), where Classicism and Modernism are linked together into a harmonious whole. In this regard, it represents an innovative contribution to Slovenian opera at the beginning of the 20th century.
