Sequenza (Italian for "sequence") is the name borne by fourteen compositions for solo instruments or voice by Luciano Berio.[1] The pieces, some of which call for extended techniques, are:

Several of these pieces became the basis of larger works:

  • Sequenza II, with the addition of extra instrumental parts around the original solo, became Chemins I.
  • Sequenza VI developed into Chemins II, Chemins IIb, Chemins IIc and Chemins III.
  • Sequenza VII became Chemins IV.
  • Sequenza XI became Chemins V.
  • Sequenza X became Kol-Od, also known as Chemins VI.
  • Sequenza IXb became Récit, also known as Chemins VII.
  • Sequenza VIII became Corale.

Conversely, Sequenza IX grew out of a piece for clarinet and electronics (later withdrawn), originally known as Chemins V; NB it is not the same as the work with the same title which originates from Sequenza XI.
