Linien,
Zeichnungen ist eine
neuere Komposition uber
eine altere Komposition
von mir, und zwischen
beiden liegt ein
zeitlicher Abstand von
dreizehn Jahren - eine
Kluft, die ich nicht
uberwinden, sondern
fruchtbar machen wollte.
Die Ausgangskomposition,
11 Linien fur
Streichquartett, widmet
sich der Gestaltung
linearer Prozesse in
ausserster Reduktion. In
elf Abschnitten, die
jeweils siebenundsiebzig
Sekunden dauern,
durchziehen annahernd
einstimmige, gelegentlich
gespaltene, Klanglinien
die im Quadrat
positionierten
Instrumente. Wie Umrisse
einer Landschaft am
Horizont, bleiben diese
linearen Klangzeichnungen
in der ersten Version
schemenhaft.Ursprunglich
wollte ich dieses Stuck
nach vielen Jahren
lediglich abschreiben,
doch dieser Vorgang
verselbstandigte sich und
entwickelte ein
Eigenleben, der
schliesslich in eine neue
Komposition mundete. So
begann es mich zu
interessieren, jene
abstrakten Landschaften
nun aus der Nahe zu
betrachten und die
ursprunglichen Linien wie
mit einem Zoomobjektiv in
die Nahe zu holen und aus
verschiedenen
Perspektiven zu
betrachten. Auf dieses
Weise haben sich
differenzierte Konturen
dort entwickelt, wo in
der ersten Version nur
grobe Umrisse zu erkennen
waren, wie zum Beispiel
ein linear fallendes
Glissando oder eine
statische Skala. Die
Ferne und Nahe zu den
einstigen
Klangkonfigurationen und
die Entdeckung ihres
moglichen Innenlebens ist
auf diese Weise zu einem
zentralen Thema der
zweiten Version geworden.
So sind aus den 11 Linien
schliesslich sieben neue
Kompositionen geworden,
gepragt von dem
Ineinandergreifen von
abstrakten Linien und
polyphon aufgefacherten
Zeichnungen. Auf
artifizielle Weise stehen
sie nun in einer
Beziehung zueinander wie
eine eingefrorene
Photographie im
Verhaltnis zu einem
gelebten
Augenblick.(Isabel
Mundry,
2010)

The
quartet begins with a
5-note motif, played in
unison that permeates
melodically and
harmonically throughout
the movement. The
energetic and hard-driven
character of the second
musical idea propels the
music forward with fast
moving notes and greater
urgency. It often
alternates with the more
lyrical rendition of the
5-note motif, yielding
contrasting sections.
After a brief coda, the
5-note motif concludes
the movement much the
same way it had begun but
with greater intensity.
The second movement
explores the world of
fantasy. To some extent
the beginning and the
ending of the movement
function as the opening
and closing doors that
separate the reality from
the dream and
subconscious. It is one
continuous movement in an
arch form that gradually
accelerates to an
expansive emotional
climax and returning
steadily to the surface
led by an ethereal solo
cello. The transcendent
ending is similar to the
beginning, though half
step higher. The third
movement begins boldly
with the 5-note motif
transformed into a dance
character in a compound
meter. The asymmetrical
meter of the Persian folk
music influences much of
the rhythmic character of
the movement. The return
of many materials from
earlier movements
interwoven into the
fabric of this movement
reinforces the cyclical
and organic character of
the quarter.
Particularly, a
mysterious passage,
reminiscence of the
second movement leading
to a brief full-blown
ballad is a favorite
moment of Ranjbaran's in
the quartet. A blazingly
virtuosic viola leads the
quartet to an uplifting
conclusion.

The
six-movement composition
written in 1959 is
Kurtág's opus no. 1.
It emerged after the
composer's study tour to
Paris which brought about
his rethinking of the
process of composition
and the discarding of his
earlier written works and
meant at the same time
the beginning of the
composer's creative
period which has lasted
ever since.

This work was
inspired by a keyboard
piece of the same name, A
Sad Paven for these
Distracted Tymes by
Thomas Tomkins
(1572-1656). Tomkins had
a long association with
Worcester Cathedral,
where he was organist -
appointed magister
choristarum in 1596 - and
lived within the
precincts until shortly
before his death. At the
same time, he was
organist of the Chapel
Royal. When the city of
Worcester surrendered to
Cromwell's parliamentary
forces in 1646, Tomkins
had to watch the hasty
dismantling of his
cathedral organ and the
abolition of all choral
services. These were the
'distracted tymes' of the
'sad paven' which he
wrote in enforced
retirement at Worcester.
