Gesualdo, Don Carlo, Furst von Venosa (1560-1613) gehort zu den eigenwilligsten italienischen Madrigal-Komponisten der Spatrenaissance. Seine ungewohnlich kuhne, selbst fur heutige Ohren modern klingende Harmonik, seine chromatischen Stimmfortschreitungen, seine ubersteigerte expressive Tonsprache regten mich schon vor Jahren zu einer grosseren Orgelkomposition an und inspirierten mich 1981 zu den >>Sinfonischen Metamorphosen<<. Dieses Werk ist eine vielgestaltige weitausgesponnene Fantasie. Sieben choralartige typische Klangbeispiele aus Gesualdos spaten funfstimmigen Madrigalen (4., 5. u. 6. Band) werden teils streng, teils frei zitiert und von Holz- oder Blechblasern intoniert. Diese Zitate gliedern, als formale und inhaltliche Schwer- und Ruhepunkte, den Verlauf des gesamten Werks. Jedes Zitat steht zu Beginn eines neuen Satzabschnitts; die darauffolgenden >>Metamorphosen<< entwickeln sich als rhapsodische kontrastreiche Charakterstucke. Im >>Preludio<< werden aus den vertonbaren Buchstaben vom Namen >>Gesualdo<< (G - E - Es - A - D) schwebende Klangflachen, rezitativische Gedanken und ein pragnantes rhythmisches Paukenthema gebildet. Diese ,,Grundelemente (Grundstrukturen) tauchen im Verlauf des Stucks immer wieder leitmotivisch auf. Im zweiten Abschnitt stehen sich lineare Streicher-Episoden und dichte Blaser-Klangballungen kontrastierend gegenuber. Der dritte Teil lauft als Passacaglia (Thema ist der Bass eines Gesualdo-Zitats) in mehreren Variationen ab. Im vierten Abschnitt dominiert lebhafte Streicherbewegung, kontrapunktiert von tiefen Blaser-Signalen. Der funfte Teil steigert sich- nach kantablem Beginn- zum ekstatischen Trauermarsch. Abschnitt sechs stellt sich als >>Rondello<< dar, mit um sich selbst kreisenden Klangfiguren (in verschiedenen Tongruppen (zwei, drei, funf). Im siebten und letzten Teil wird die verhalten-resignierende Stimmung des Anfangs beschworen, ehe eine knappe Stretta in den hymnischen Schluss mundet. In den Textender ausgewahlten Zitatstellen geht es meist um Todessehnsucht, Liebesqual und Verzweiflung. z. B. 1. und 2. Zitat: Moro lasso, al mio duolo (Ich sterbe, matt, an meiner Qual) (6. Buch) 3. Zitat: Gia piansi nel dolore; o dolorosa Sorte (Schon weinte ich in Schmerzen, oh schmerzliches Geschick) (6. Buch) 4. Zitat: Ahi gia mi discolero (Ach schon entfarbte ich mich) (Wehe, der Tod kommt) (4. Buch) 5. Zitat: Dolcissima mia vita (Mein allerliebstes Leben) (Dich zu lieben oder zu sterben) (5. Buch) 6. Zitat: lo moro (Ich sterbe) (5. Buch) Dem Werk liegen zwar eine Reihe von dodekaphonischen Strukturen zugrunde (die teilweise von Gesualdos Klangzitaten abgeleitet wurden), doch sind die einzelnen Abschnitte auf,,tonale Pfeiler (G - E - A - D) gegrundet; das Stuck beginnt in G und endet aufD, ist also ubergeordnet tonal konzipiert, - der Versuch einer Synthese moderner Ausdrucksmittel von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Die >>Metamorphosen<< sind ein Stuck Bekenntnismusik - Bekenntnis zum Leben und Schaffen Gesualdos, eines Mannes, der vom Schicksal gezeichnet war, denn der Chronik Neapels bekannt war durch die Ermordung seiner ersten Frau und ihres Liebhabers. Dieser eminente Musiker war zugleich ein Mensch von ubertriebener Sensibilitat und wilder ekstatischer Heftigkeit: ,,Er wurde von einer Horde von Damonen heimgesucht, die ihm keine Ruhe gaben, heisst es in einem zeitgenossischen Bericht. Seine Kunst und sein Leben stand unter dem Gesetz der inneren Zerrissenheit, zwischen Auflehnung und Resignation (Verzweiflung und Hoffnung), zwischen Zartheit und Leidenschaft. Davon will meine Musik etwas aussagen. (Jurg Baur)CD:Sinfonieorchester des Westdeutschen Rundfunks, cond.

Finally performable again Eduard Franck's Piano Concerto in D minor Op. 13 is the first major orchestral work by this Mendelssohn pupil. The pianist, already celebrated at a young age, had early plans for the piano concerto that he completed at the latest in 1846. Contemporary critics emphasized the catchy motives and the balanced relationship of solo instrument to the orchestra. Ignaz Moscheles was impressed by the noble manner, the poetic ideas, and the orchestration. Thanks to the kind support of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, in whose library the orchestral parts, once thought to be lost, are preserved, the work can be introduced for the first time in the present edition.

Guitar; Methods and Music for Children

SKU: UT.DM-56

Composed by Adriana Tessier. Paperback (Soft Cover). Ciao Chitarra!!! Classical. Ut Orpheus #DM 56. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.DM-56).

ISBN 9790215315891. 9 x 12 inches.

Questo secondo volume della collana Ciao Chitarra!!! si articola secondo la stessa struttura del primo sviluppandone gli intenti fondamentali: predisporre lâ??allievo a un atteggiamento attivo, di ricerca e di scoperta nei confronti della chitarra e favorire, insieme allo sviluppo graduale della tecnica e allíampliamento della conoscenza diretta del repertorio, la progressiva evoluzione della sensibilità musicale.
La â??sfidaâ?? è rendere piacevole e interessante non solo il momento in cui si suona ma anche quello in cui si studia, facilitando una vivace e dinamica interazione tra allievo, maestro e libro.
Le musiche scelte, che spaziano dal Rinascimento ai nostri giorni, si presentano in forma di brani solistici, duetti ed esercizi di tecnica che attraverso piccoli cambi di posizione della mano sinistra, note tenute, arpeggi, legati e scale di unâ??ottava, conducono lâ??allievo verso la conoscenza delle prime due posizioni sulla tastiera e lo avvicinano alle tecniche chitarristiche di base.
La diteggiatura della mano destra è stata volutamente omessa al fine di assecondare la spontanea articolazione delle dita che producono direttamente il suono. Tale articolazione, insieme al sincronismo, al coordinamento e alla ricerca della qualità sonora, andrà comunque sviluppata correttamente attraverso gli arpeggi e le piccole scale presenti nelle ultime pagine del volume.
Una grafica particolarmente accurata e le numerose illustrazioni da colorare a piacimento veicolano con incisività informazioni di carattere musicale e storico insieme a indicazioni di carattere pratico - quali lâ??accordatura e il cambio delle corde - spesso trascurate ma invece utili a sviluppare lâ??autonomia dellâ??allievo e a rendere ancora più diretta la sua interazione con la chitarra.
