Abstract or Summary:

This paper investigates the techniques of borrowing and integrating external material in the music of Yorgos Sicilianos, tracing his evolution from modernist to postmodernist approaches. By examining various works, including his First Symphony, the author discusses how Sicilianos’s use of quotations and allusions reflects broader trends in 20th-century music and his personal aesthetic development. The study reveals the complexity of Sicilianos’s compositional methods and his engagement with different historical and cultural influences.
