Quatuor (BACEWICZ GRAZYNA)

(+)
Par BACEWICZ GRAZYNA. Studying the sketches for works which a composer considers to be finished, perfected, is a fascinating activity. It enables one to penetrate the secrets of creative work, to compare the initial outline of a composition with its final version. A sketch is generally left untitled, but it does occur that a composer enhances the status of such a draft by giving it a title, before creating an improved version of that title on the basis of the finished work. The list of compositions by Grazyna Bacewicz, the full catalogue of which is held in the National Library in Warsaw, includes a work for string quartet entitled Quatuor. The manuscript was left undated, but analysis of the music allows us to date this work to the mid-1960s. In the composer?s output from that period, the instrumental tone colouring, often an element that helps to forge a work, takes on particular significance. The first movement of the Quatuor [à cordes] opens with three fifth-tritone chords ?cast forth?, in succession, in saltando-gettato technique by the cello, second violin and first violin. When we look at the beginning of the Seventh String Quartet, from 1965, such a chord appears in the second bar of the cello part. Further comparisons lead to interesting conclusions. The two opening movements are almost identical, built from the same elements, only spatially arranged in a different way. In the structure of the first movement of the Seventh Quartet, one distinguishes two thematic planes, which shape the narrative after the fashion of a sonata allegro. The first theme is a series of episodes of changing texture ? from passagework to chords and short glissandos repeated with varying intensity. The second theme (Meno mosso) displays an imitative form. Both works feature an inverted reprise. For the first 25 bars of the second movement, a nostalgic Grave, the two works sound identical. The continuation of this movement in the Quatuor [à cordes] is more modest than in the analogous segments of the Seventh Quartet, in terms of both changing textures and the use of differentiated means of articulation. Towards the end, a motif from the beginning of this movement returns in modified form. Both the third movements (Capriccioso in the Quatuor [à cordes], Con vivezza in the Seventh Quartet) take the form of a rondo, and appearing in each of them is the same ?warbling? theme, based on scattered notes with grace notes. The Seventh String Quartet is in three movements. The presumed prototype consists of four movements. The last movement of the Quatuor [à cordes] is a Maestoso resembling a mine of textural ideas for other works of a sonoristic provenance from this period. The introduction, constituting a closed narrative whole and a reference point for the rest of the movement, is followed by segments that are dominated by ostinatos of various kinds, including with the use of harmonics, passages built on the progressive shifting of short motifs, and unevenly spread chords. Grazyna Bacewicz used material from earlier works more than once in her compositions. Her oeuvre also includes ?twin? pieces merely scored for a different set of instruments. Yet the self-quotation that occurs in the case of the Quatuor [à cordes] and the Seventh String Quartet ? lengthy passages from another of her works reused with minor modifications ? is an unusual situation. It undermines the former?s status as an independent work. Malgorzata Gasiorowska/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

(+)
Chaconne. Par LERDAHL FRED. Chaconne (2016), for string quartet, was commissioned by the Daedalus Quartet to celebrate its 15th anniversary. The commission was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, and Aaron Copland Fund for Music. My music has a substantial history with Daedalus. I composed the Third String Quartet (2008) for them, and subsequently they performed my three string quartets on several occasions and recorded them brilliantly on Bridge Records (Bridge 9352: Music of Fred Lerdahl, vol. 3). Chaconne is in one movement lasting 19 minutes. It is effectively my fourth string quartet. Quartets 1-3 form a unified cycle lasting 70 minutes. When I finished the cycle, I thought I would never write again for the medium; yet I could not resist the opportunity of working again with Daedalus. The issue was how to compose another string quartet unrelated to the earlier cycle. The solution came from my solo cello piece There and Back Again (2010), which was based on a four-bar variation pattern from a 17th-century chaconne. Unlike the asymmetrical phrases and expanding variations of much of my music, the chaconne form requires symmetrical phrases and strictly periodic variations. I wished to work again with these symmetries but on a larger scale. Chaconne also differs in character and expression from the three-quartet cycle. The cycle is inward and intense, a kind of psychological excavation. Chaconne is, for the most part, transparent and playful. Many of its textures emerge from little canons, not completely unlike the rounds that children sing. Any composer who writes in chaconne form (one thinks above all of the last movement of Bach’s D minor violin partita and the finale of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony) is confronted with the challenge of how to create a larger form out of a constantly repeating pattern. My Chaconne grows from paired antecedent-consequent phrases, each variation lasting eight bars. The 50 variations group into three large rotations, forming three arcs of tension and relaxation, with subtle parallel connections across the rotations. Notwithstanding my attraction to chaconne form, I purposefully disguised its symmetries and periodicities in order to build an overall dramatic shape. Fred Lerdahl/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

(+)
Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Dawn Flight est le titre d'une toile que le graveur et peintre britannique Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) réalisa en 1959. Sa formation scientifique - chimie, géologie - son habileté mathématique furent un atout considérable dans ses recherches de matières et de couleurs, qui peuvent atteindre des tons fluorescents. Hayter, qui fut l'une des premières figures du mouvement surréaliste, s'engagea à New York sur les voies de l'abstraction, aux côtés de Pollock, Rothko, Baziotes, Matta, Motherwell, De Kooning, Riopelle. Il est reconnu comme celui qui a révolutionné les techniques de la gravure au cours du XXe siècle. Il inventa le procédé qui permet d'obtenir plusieurs couleurs sur une même plaque en un seul passage. Rentré en 1950 à Paris, il expérimente de nouvelles techniques de gravure: empreintes, utilisation de l'acide sur le métal et surtout le burin multipointe. Il poursuit une recherche sur l'émergence des formes, sur la transparence, l'interférence, la vibration, les moires. Ses toiles intensifient la couleur, le dynamisme gestuel, et s'attachent sur la fin à capter les jeux de lumière à la surface de l'eau. Dawn Flight est construit sur un éventail d'obliques divergentes, remontant la diagonale, illustrant ainsi le paradoxe d'un flux ascendant, aspiré par le haut. La forme étirée et allongée des stries, la torsion intime de la trame, la tension paradoxale des entrelacs donnent le sentiment d'une réalité élémentaire, de l'aurore d'un monde. La production de Hayter à cette époque - Perseïdes, Poissons volants, Vague, Ixion, Cascade, Mérou, Méduse, Night - montre d'étranges associations de bleu et de noir, d'orange, de jaune transparent, de bleu et de vert. Frank Stella et Donald Judd comptent parmi les artistes qui ont le plus radicalement récusé l'idée d'un procès formateur de l'art, évacuant l'idée même de nécessité intérieure, voire de composition formelle. Transparence, profondeur, épaisseur, rayonnement ne seraient que des catégories factices tirées d'une illusion d'intériorité et l'idée même de progression structurée ne serait que l'effet d'une tyrannie du dedans. Qu'en est-il du quatuor qui fut la construction par excellence de l'intériorité, l'exemple même d'une logique compositionnelle épurée et réduite à la forme essentielle d'un développement ? Ecrire un quatuor après Donald Judd est-il encore possible ? Car il ne suffit pas de se confronter à l'histoire d'un genre, mais à la question de sa possibilité. L'idée même d'un dynamisme des voix a-t-elle encore un sens ? Et celle d'un tout dont les parties sont solidaires ? On n'osera même plus parler de texture, car il s'agit encore d'une forme interne, de l'expression d'une cohérence intérieure. Ecrire un quatuor pourrait signifier le retour à une réflexion sur les formes fondamentales du mouvement - comme l'attraction, la répulsion, l'inclusion ou la pénétration. Ou encore sur ce que signifient des gestes comme briser, couper, déchirer ou fendre. Ce serait aussi revenir sur ce qu'est une interférence de fluctuations, sur la plasticité, ou au contraire la tension désordonnée. A moins de supprimer le quatuor, il faut bien convenir qu'il est à l'image du tissu, d'une continuité ininterrompue, d'un entrelacs de fils et qu'il s'agit de l'oeuvre humaine par excellence: écrire un quatuor c'est renouer le fil. Froisser, tordre, déplier, déployer, dérouler, tels sont les exigences primordiales du quatuor, que l'on dit parfois soyeux ou moiré. Judd et ses contemporains ont rendu caduque l'idée qu'une oeuvre puisse formuler et suivre des règles explicites, assurer la conservation d'une forme dans une certaine série de transformations. Dans cette vue, la pensée musicale serait alors rendue à un état d'instabilité, de glissement perpétuel. Mais elle pourrait alors trouver peut-être de nouveaux schémas de connexion, et attribuer un sens original à l'idée de processus orienté, en lui donnant la forme d'un devenir global et unique, sans répétitions. La musique récente sait susciter l'émergence de propriétés inédites et s'absorber dans la réalité supérieure qu'elle suscite: elle n'est pas tant l'imagination des possibles que l'articulation des moments de l'expérience. Revenir à Hayter, ce serait se concentrer sur une topologie concrète d'intervalles et de liaisons, penser la musique comme flux, modulation, émergence perpétuelle, lumière illocalisable, masse en essor ou tournoiement sans prise. Ce sont là quelques bonnes raisons d'écrire un quatuor. Hugues Dufourt / contemporain / Date parution : 2008-06-24/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

(+)
This is the full score of Aheym for String Quartet, composed by Bryce Dessner, best known as the guitarist of The National, but also an acclaimed composer in his own right.Composed in 2009 for the Kronos Quartet for their performance in Brooklyn's Prospect Park for the Celebrate Brooklyn! festival, Aheym (meaning 'homeward' in Yiddish) was directly inspired by his grandmother's migration to America. Dessner states that the stories and information she used to tell them permeated their collective imagination and created a close connection to the past. He dedicates Aheym to his grandmother, Sarah Dessner. The score in this edition was first performed on the 12th of March 2009 at the MusicNOW Festival, and on the 18th of July 2009 in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The work lasts around 10 minutes and is filled with dynamic tempo changes, a mix of staccato and smooth playing and all-round excitement. It's a fantastic piece to play and the genius composition will keep audiences on their toes. / Quatuor A Cordes

(+)
Par JANACEK LEOS. Janácek's 2nd String Quartet, Intimate Letters, is regarded as a highlight of the modern string quartet literature. It was written during the composer’s last year of life, between 29 January and 19 February 1928, inspired by the ageing Janáèek's exceptional love for Kamila Stösslová. The Moravian Quartet devoted themselves to this impressive work; Janácek attended a total of three of their rehearsals in May and June 1928. This had several consequences, including his abandoning his original idea of using a viola d'amore. After Janácek's unexpected death (12 August 1928) the uncertain genesis of the work became the greatest problem of the IntimateLetters : the surviving copies were not definitively authorised. The editors of this new edition have reverted to Janácek's autograph sketches as the main, most reliable source and using these as a basis, have reconstructed the work as it stood at the point of Janácek's death. The musical text, taken from the Critical Complete Edition of the Works of Leoš Janácek (Vol. E/4), therefore contains clear differences in comparison with older editions./ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

(+)
Par SENFTER JOHANNA. The composer Johanna Senfter (1879 1961) from Oppenheim concerned herself with chamber music for strings all her life, even studied violin in Frankfurt herself. Max Reger then gave her lessons in Leipzig, first privately, then in his composition class at the conservatoire and valued her 'extraordinary compositional talent'. The strict teacher more and more became a committed promoter of the works by Johanna Senfter. For a period of 50 years, the composer concerned herself with the string quartet genre, from Quartet No. 1 in D minor Op. 4, composed shortly after the turn of the century, to the sixth and last Quartet in C minor Op. 115 which was performed for the first time in 1960, one year before her death. The Quartet in F sharp minor Op. 28 is her second quartet which was premiered in Darmstadt on 5 November 1922. In this work, as in later works, Senfter combined traditional form models – here Baroque movements like gavotte, saraband, gigue – with expressive, late Romantic musical language. The work, consisting of six short movements, may without doubt be regarded as a valuable addition to the quartet repertoire./ Répertoire / 2 Violons, Alto et Violoncelle

Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Dawn Flight est le titre d'une toile que le graveur et peintre britannique Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) réalisa en 1959. Sa formation scientifique - chimie, géologie - son habileté mathématique furent un atout considérable dans ses recherches de matières et de couleurs, qui peuvent atteindre des tons fluorescents. Hayter, qui fut l'une des premières figures du mouvement surréaliste, s'engagea à New York sur les voies de l'abstraction, aux côtés de Pollock, Rothko, Baziotes, Matta, Motherwell, De Kooning, Riopelle. Il est reconnu comme celui qui a révolutionné les techniques de la gravure au cours du XXe siècle. Il inventa le procédé qui permet d'obtenir plusieurs couleurs sur une même plaque en un seul passage. Rentré en 1950 à Paris, il expérimente de nouvelles techniques de gravure: empreintes, utilisation de l'acide sur le métal et surtout le burin multipointe. Il poursuit une recherche sur l'émergence des formes, sur la transparence, l'interférence, la vibration, les moires. Ses toiles intensifient la couleur, le dynamisme gestuel, et s'attachent sur la fin à capter les jeux de lumière à la surface de l'eau. Dawn Flight est construit sur un éventail d'obliques divergentes, remontant la diagonale, illustrant ainsi le paradoxe d'un flux ascendant, aspiré par le haut. La forme étirée et allongée des stries, la torsion intime de la trame, la tension paradoxale des entrelacs donnent le sentiment d'une réalité élémentaire, de l'aurore d'un monde. La production de Hayter à cette époque - Perseïdes, Poissons volants, Vague, Ixion, Cascade, Mérou, Méduse, Night - montre d'étranges associations de bleu et de noir, d'orange, de jaune transparent, de bleu et de vert.

(+)
Mezmer for string quartet is an adaptation of the last movement of Re-Collecting ASTORoids, an earlier suite for orchestra from Kats-Chernin. Commissioned by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the suite was written in tribute to Astor Piazzolla and is clearly inspired by tango, though Kats-Chernin uses various rhythms as her source of inspiration. Mezmer is a miniature and has an intimate, smoky feel with a bluesy violin solo laden with vibrato. An air of solitude and reflection surrounds the piece. / Quatuor A Cordes
