IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas

Giovanni
Gabrieli's Se cantano
gl'augelli comes from a
collection of madrigals
entitled Il trionfo di
Dori. Each madrigal is
scored for six voices and
each ends with the text
Viva la bella Dori (Long
live fair Dori). This
late sixteenth-century
collection of madrigals
enjoyed great success and
was the model of the
famous English collection
of madrigals entitled,
The Triumphes of Oriana.

Streit ist an dem Himmel
und gewaltigDie Monde

Pfad sich suchen.

Himmlische namlich
sindUnwillig, wenn einer
nicht die Seele schonend
sichZusammengenommen,
aber er muss doch;
demGleich fehlet die
TrauerIn meinen Holderlin
lesen-Stucken ging es mir
darum, Wege zu finden,
die gewaltigen
Sprachstrukturen
Holderlins so in die
zeitliche Form der Musik
zu integrieren, dass sie
Funktionen der
musikalischen Form
ubernehmen, ohne in ihrer
Eigenkraft (sowohl
akustisch wie auch im
Sinne expressiver
,,Deutung) im geringsten
geschmalert zu werden.
Das hiess zunachst:
Sprechen, nicht singen! -
Aber das wurde nur
bedeuten, dass es nicht
um die Musikalisierung
von Text geht; ebenso
wichtig ist es, dass es
auch nicht um
melodramatisch
,,erzahlende Musik geht.
Sondern: Zwei autonome
Kunste durchdringen sich
auf diaphane Weise, ohne
sich zu uberformen oder
auszuloschen; es handelt
sich um einen Dialog,
nicht um eine
Vereinnahmung durch
Hierarchisierung.Sind wir
uns selbst zu einem
,,Zeichen...deutungslos
geworden, wie es
Holderlins Anfangszeilen
sagen, so erscheinen auch
die Zeichen, die wir
selber setzen, sich immer
mehr einer Deutbarkeit zu
entziehen. Mein Stuck,
das den vollstandigen
Text von Holderlins
Mnemosyne integriert,
stellt auf seine Weise
die Frage nach dem
,,Zeichen. ,,Was ist
dies? Klang? Wort?
Schrift? Wie sind die
Grenzen, die Ubergange,
die gegenseitigen
Beeinflussungen der
einzelnen
Zeichenregionen? Was
liegt ihnen zugrunde?
Worte und musikalische
Zeichen bewegen sich im
Medium der Zeit;
Schriftzeichen erscheinen
zunachst als
Verraumlichung, aber man
muss daran erinnern, dass
der Vorgang des
Schreibens - wie er in
der ostasiatischen
Kalligraphie zu hochster
Kunst entwickelt wurde -
auch zeitlichen Charakter
hat. Mnemosyne - die
Kraft des Sich-Erinnerns
- schafft die Zeichen,
indem sie Gestalten durch
Wiederholung fixiert und
so aus dem endlosen Fluss
der wahrgenommenen
Vorgange herauslost. Die
so entstehende
artikulierte Zeit schafft
wiederum durch das
Wechselspiel von
fixierten und sich
bewegenden Gestalten das
Bewusstsein fur
differenzierte
Formablaufe. Der
Formverlauf meines
Stuckes zeichnet solche
genetischen Prozesse
nach. Der Horer wird
schnell merken, dass die
Wortzeichen oft einer
zuerst erscheinenden
musikalischen Klangwelt
entspringen (ich stimme
Walter Benjamin zu, wenn
er sagt, dass die Sprache
in ihrer grundlegenden
Schicht expressiven - und
nicht darstellenden -
Charakter hat). Die
Schrift auf der Leinwand
folgt zunachst den
sprachlichen Aktionen der
Stimme, erhalt dann aber
auch eigene Teile der
Form zugeteilt, in der
sie sich als autonomes
Zeichen darstellt. In der
durch die drei Strophen
Holderlins
notwendigerweise
dreiteiligen Gesamtform
gibt es immer wieder
Abschnitte, in denen
entweder das musikalische
Geschehen oder die
Sprachzeichen des
Gedichtes oder das
Sich-Schreiben der
Schrift im Vordergrund
stehen; der Komponist
versteht sich also hier
auch als ,,Zusammensetzer
der in unserer
Wahrnehmung so
verschieden besetzten
Zeiten des Schreibens,
Sprechens und
Musikhorens. Es bilden
sich im Verlauf des
40-minutigen Stuckes auch
Grenzfalle, wie ,,stumme
Musik oder total
musikalisierte - ihrer
Verstehbarkeit beraubte -
Textrezitation. Auch das
Singen von Text - in
meinen bisherigen
Holderlinstucken strikt
vermieden - wird als
ausserste Moglichkeit
gegen Ende des formalen
Prozesses zugelassen. An
einigen Stellen zeigt die
Musik sozusagen direkt
auf sich selbst. Es sind
Formzustande, die ich in
meinem ,,Shir Hashirim
als ,,Koan bezeichnet
habe: ,,endlose
Wiederholungen einer
zeichenhaften
Konstellation, bei jeder
Wiederholung minimal
verandert - so wie ein
Kalligraph sein
Schriftzeichen bei jedem
Malvorgang unwillkurlich
verandert und neu
schafft. Steht im ersten
Teil der Grossform der
Aspekt des Abstrakten,
des Unsinnlichen im
Vordergrund, so wird im
zweiten Teil
Bildhaftigkeit als
Eigenschaft nicht nur der
Sprache, sondern auch der
Musik betont: die
Landschaft, halb schnee -
halb blutenbedeckt, die
der Wanderer ,,zornig
durchstreift. Am Ende
dieses Teils wird das
Schriftbild selber zur
Landschaft, die der
Leser/Horer durchwandert.
Er wird im dritten Teil
durch einen
Verwandlungsprozess zu
den ekstatischen
Ursprungen des
holderlinschen Dichtens
gefuhrt, und damit zur
explizit musikalischen
Ebene: Die Totenklage um
Hektor und Ajax wird zum
,,dithyrambischen Tanz,
wie es Holderlins
Schlusszeile entwirft:
,,... darum fehlet die
Trauer. Es bleibt noch
nachzutragen, dass ich
den in der Stuttgarter
Ausgabe der Werke
Holderlins in drei
Versionen abgedruckten
Text in einer
Mischversion verwendet
habe: die erste Strophe
aus der 2. Fassung, die
zweite mit Abweichungen
und Widerspruchen aus
allen drei Fassungen, und
die dritte Strophe aus
der 3. Fassung. (Hans
