%X L¡¯instrument de musique n¡¯a pas d¡¯identit¨¦ d¨¦termin¨¦e avant qu¡¯il ne soit jou¨¦ par un musicien concret, ou utilis¨¦ dans une  uvre singuli¨¨re. Pour Stravinsky, l¡¯instrument de musique   n¡¯est rien en soi  . C¡¯est l¡¯ uvre, comme invention et cr¨¦ation, qui donne ¨¤ l¡¯instrument son identit¨¦, sur la base de propri¨¦t¨¦s organologiques pr¨¦existantes. Les  uvres de Stravinsky pour petite formation illustrent cette id¨¦e d¡¯une invention de l¡¯instrument de musique par l¡¯ uvre qu¡¯il joue, ainsi que son amour pour des instruments nouveaux ou   nouveaux pour lui   (le cymbalum). L¡¯invention instrumentale (qui n¡¯est pas ici cr¨¦ation d¡¯un nouvel instrument) consiste ¨¤ faire sonner de mani¨¨re neuve un instrument d¨¦j¨¤ existant. Cette invention suppose une   ¨¦rotique   musicale, un amour sp¨¦cifique pour les instruments et les alt¨¦rit¨¦s dont ils sont porteurs. Tout se passe alors comme si un a priori (une possibilit¨¦ musicale enfouie dans l¡¯instrument A musical instrument has no specific identity until it is played by a concrete musician or used in a singular work. According to Stravinsky, a musical instrument is   nothing in itself  . Only a work, as a process of invention and creation, gives an instrument its identity on the basis of pre-existing organologic properties. Stravinsky¡¯s works for small ensembles show how musical instruments may be invented by the work which they play, as well as the composer¡¯s love for instruments that are new or ¡°new for him¡± (such as the cymbalo). Musical invention (which does not mean here the creation of a new instrument) consists in giving a new ring to an existing instrument. This kind of invention implies a notion of musical ¡°eroticism¡±, that is a specific love for instruments and the otherness they may bear. Everything is happening as though an a priori quality (a musical possibility buried in the instrument) appeared only a posteriori (within the inventive work).
