Grundlage der von namhaften Musikwissenschaftlern erarbeiteten 35 Werkdarstellungen von Guillaume de Machaut uber Orlando di Lasso, Bach, Schubert und Brahms bis Schonberg und Britten ist die Interpretation der in Wort und Ton fixierten musikalischen Texte, die Erorterung von deren ideengeschichtlichem Zusammenhang und kunstgeschichtlichem Wesen unter vielfaltigen Gesichtspunkten. Mit der Erschliessung der Werkgehalte wird jedem Ausfuhrenden und jedem Horer - Chorleitern und Sangern, Studenten, Komponisten, Wissenschaftlern und Padagogen - der Weg zu einer gleichermassen geistigen und sinnlichen Auffassung der Musik gewiesen. In einem separaten Band sind alle im Text behandelten Kompositionen vollstandig wiedergegeben. Mit diesem Sammelband wird die erstmals 1983 erschienene erfolgreiche Publikation gleichen Titels fortgesetzt und zu einem Abriss der Geschichte der unbegleiteten Chor- und Ensemblemusik von der Ars antiqua bis zur Gegenwart erganzt, der theoretischem Analyseanspruch wie musikpraktischen Erfordernissen gleichermassen gerecht wird.

The arranger of this work (a well-known Hungarian composer living in Romania) writes: +This piece has always excited my imagination, from several points of view. First of all, its name. The German title, the obstinate one, may refer to its ostinato character. This is close to Liszt's programme concept, but the French word 'obstine' is closer in meaning to stubborn. There is just a shade of difference, but to me it is important, because the latter suggests the description of a type of behaviour, the emotional state of a dancer's inner frame of mind abstracted into movements, expressed in dance movements, and this is a fascinating interpretation. The demonstration of stubborn resistance and defiance to the point of exhaustion was not a frequently occurring phenomenon with Liszt. Secondly, at the beginning of the seventies Zoltan Kocsis played the piece in Transylvania. At that time, I asked the composer, +Is the character of the continuous staccato in the left hand sharp, short, or an accompanying background like a constant shadow? Is it a weighty Brahmsian staccato, an ominous knocking? - and so on. Then there are the Bartokian false relations that keep recurring in the work, the B-E flat-G, etc. That foreshadows Debussy, creating harmonic thrills that, when I hear the work, keep my continuing interest alive for it. Finally, my immediate reason for arranging the work was of a family nature: in connection with Liszt's jubilee year, my daughter, who is a cellist, wanted a 'more energetic' piece to play at a bicentenary concert an addition to the existing slow, lyrical, or sombre works written by Liszt for the cello.+.
