La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables » du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.L’implication créative de Schubert dans l’écriture du lied l’entraîne à interagir avec d’autres formes compositionnelles. C’est dans cet esprit qu’il faut apercevoir l’apparition de pièces courtes pour piano comme les Impromptus, Kavierstücke, Moments musicaux. Du point de vue historique, Schubert n’est pas le premier à composer sur ce genre mais il lui donnera ses premières plus belles pages.Les six moments musicaux de Schubert sont des pièces brèves pour piano dont l’interprétation requiert approximativement un peu moins de trente minutes. L’élaboration de ses pièces renferme de nombreux points énigmatiques, mais on sait que leurs créations s’échelonnent entre 1823 – date de la parution de « l’allegro moderato » – et 1827 – date de l’édition de ces six moments musicaux.Cette œuvre est constituée de : Moderato n°1 en ut mineur, Andantino n°2 en fa mineur, Allegro moderato n°3 en fa mineur, Moderato n°4 en ut dièse mineur, Allegro Vivace n°5 en fa mineur, Plainte d’un troubadour n°6 en la bémol majeur. Ce dernier a été également publié séparément en 1824.L’allegro moderato appelé communément « l’air russe » est la plus célèbre des six petites pièces. Malgré le fait que son plan soit assez distinct et formel, sa conception ne respecte plus une architecture rigoureuse, ce qui contribue à laisser libre arbitre à l’imagination harmonique et mélodique du musicien. Cette petite pièce est chargée d’exprimer des moments psychologiques par l’alternance d’instants vifs et rythmés très contrastés qui oblige finalement une souplesse formelle.Schubert invite les pianistes à partager cet instant musical par une grande concentration psychologique à travers un décor atmosphérique continuellement en mouvement.

Commissioned by the Kolner Philharmonie (KolnMusik) for the non bthvn projekt 2020 and the Cite de la musique / Philharmonie de Paris Dedicated to Arditti Quartet Each movement of this quartet explores a single state, its lights and its shadows. Each movement, you could say, is a moment . And these moments could last for more or less time without compromising their essential nature. The processes could be extended or compressed, repeated or reversed, but the core ideas - if they are ideas, but maybe they are simply experiences? - are what they are. Despite this, the precise sequence of movements matters a great deal. Heard together they do articulate some kind of linear narrative, maybe even a metaphorical journey (albeit a circular one where the arrival might, who knows, prove to be a new departure). One situation gives way to another and instrumental relationships within the quartet vary, but ultimately the imaginative impulse behind the piece preferences states of unity. Whether or not this unity is expressed texturally - sometimes literal unisons pervade, but not always - there is generally a sense that even seemingly diverse aspects relate to a fundamental condition of concord: a conscious limitation in the pitch structure to spectral emanations of the root notes E-flat and C. At the opening this is unambiguously audible in the perpetual alternation of these two notes in the low cello register. Later the two spectra are woven into a micro-tonal 'double-spectral-mode' (derived from the first 24 partials of the C and E-flat fundamentals), which defines the subtle melodic inflection of the second movement, and the never-quite-chromatic ascending scales of the third. For now this feels like a rich source of melodic possibility, so far only just glimpsed... And why the insistence on E-flat? Probably by way of historical anecdote. Apparently Karl Holz (a member of the Schuppanzigh Quartet) said to Beethoven: We performed your Quartet in E-flat Op. 127 in his [Weber's] honour; he found the Adagio too long; but I told him: Beethoven also has a longer feeling and a longer imagination than anyone standing or not standing today. - Since then, even Linke (another member of the quartet) can no longer stand him: we cannot forgive him for this. Listening again to Op. 127, in light of these comments, I was struck by the opening moment: the unfolding of an E-flat 7th chord over the course of a few bars. Every time I hear it I find myself wishing that Beethoven would have lingered longer there, without resolution or progression, just enjoying that sonority. And maybe - why not? - tune the 7th naturally. And what would it be to stretch that moment into an entire piece? What would Weber think of that?! In the end I was not so extreme in my self-limitation, and other concerns took over, but it was from these thoughts that the composition process began... Lastly, about the title: it comes from a book called 'The Clock of the Long Now' by Stewart Brand, published at the turn of the millennium. It's about the creation of a thousand-year clock to embody the aspiration to thinking in terms of longer time-spans than are presently habitual. If the music of Beethoven embodied a 'longer' feeling and imagination than some of his contemporaries were able to appreciate, what is our relation to time now? Longer or shorter? Maybe it depends who you ask... It's probably more extreme in both directions: attention spans might be diminishing in the digital world, but conversely there is an awareness of distant pasts and potential futures which would have been inconceivable at the time of Beethoven. In any case, the interesting thing is to ponder how societal conditions, assumptions and expectations might - whether consciously or unconsciously - influence the time of art, for listeners and creators alike. And what if time is running out? (Christian Mason)World premiere: Paris, Cite de la musique, January 14, 2020.
