The Full
Score for Peter Maxwell
Davies' fourth in a
series of ten string
quartets commissioned by
the Naxos Recording
company, first performed
by the Maggini Quartet on
20th August 2004 at the
Chapel of the Royal
Palace, Oslo, Norway, as
part of the Olso Chamber
Music Festival. Composer
Note: The fourth Naxos
quartet was written in
January and February of
2004, with the intention
of producing something
lighter and much less
fierce than its
predecessor, an
unpremeditated and
spontaneous reaction to
the illegal invasion of
Iraq. I returned to the
well-known Brueghel
picture of children's
games (1560, now in
Vienna), which had been
the inspiration for my
sixth Strathclyde
Concerto, for flute and
orchestra. These
illustrations liberated
my musical imagination,
but I feel it would limit
the listener's perception
to be too specific about
which game relates to
exactly which section of
the work. Suffice it to
say that there is
vigorous play -
leap-frog, bind the devil
with a cord, truss,
wrestling - alongside
quieter pastimes - masks,
guess whom I shall
choose, courting, odds
and evens. The single
movement juxtaposes these
activities as abruptly
and intimately as they
occur in Brueghel. Rather
as the eye is taken into
different perspectives
and proportions of scale
within the picture,
taking liberties which
would never be present
in, for instance,
Brunelleschi
architectural drawings,
so here, with a constant
sequence of
transformation processes,
I have distorted the
neat, precise
implications of modal
progression, expressed in
the unison opening phrase
(from F to B through A
sharp/B flat), so that
the ear is led, en route,
into the sound
equivalents of strange
passageways and closed
rooms: sicut exposition
ludus. As work on the
quartet progressed I
became aware that I was
reading into, and behind
the games, adult motives
and implications,
concerning aggression and
war, with their
consequences. It was
impossible to escape into
innocent childhood
fantasy. The nature of
the F to B progression
underlying the whole
construction derives from
a passage in the
development of the first
movement of Mahler's
Third Symphony, and the
opening of Schoenberg's
Second String Quartet.
However, unlike in these
models, here a real - if
temporary - sense of
resolution occurs at the
close of the quartet: as
when the curtain falls on
the reconciled Count and
Countess in 'Figaro' one
wonders how long the F/B
truce will hold, and
games break out again.
The quartet is dedicated
to Giuseppe Rebecchini,
Roman architect, and
friend since the
nineteen-fifties.

Due to the
small number of required
instruments, this musical
fairy story for children
can also be performed in
small rooms. Tristan
Schulze who is very
successful in the field
of children's theatre
tells the story in a
modern language. The
music is written in
classical harmony. The
four string instruments
provide a musical
accompaniment of or
comment on the text, or
let the narrated action
continue to have an
effect in instrumental
interludes. With
imagination and love of
experimentation, the work
can be complemented by
scenic actions, pictures
and performances. Thus,
'Der gestiefelte Kater'
playfully introduces
children to the
music-theatre genre.

What
do Beethoven and the
children's song Fuchs Du
hast die Gans gestohlen
have in common? Nothing,
strictly speaking.
Although the song was
written as early as 1824
(and theoretically,
Beethoven could have
known it), it has not
left deep marks on his
oeuvre. But what if he
had known it? Wolfgang
Birtel pursued this
question and, in reply to
it, conceived a symphony
for string quartet:
behind each movement is
an original symphony by
Beethoven (spiced with
quotes from other works).
The children's song
appears as the main theme
in the final movement of
Symphony No. 1, in the
famous funeral march of
Eroica, fate knocks at
the door (of the goose
house) in remembrance of
Symphony No. 5, and the
work ends with Ode to the
Roast Goose (Symphony No.
9). A funny and cleverly
arranged collage, a
performing and listening
pleasure in the footsteps
of Beethoven.

The famous
Golliwogg's Cakewalk is
the final piece from
Debussy's cycle
Children's Corner
which consists of 6
miniatures for piano,
written for his daughter
in the years 1906-1908.
The style corresponds to
that of ragtime, a dance
which was in vogue around
the turn of the century.
In the middle section, he
parodies several times
the beginning of the
opera Tristan and
Isolde by Richard
Wagner with whom Debussy
had a rather ambiguous
relationship. The present
arrangement now allows
musicians to play the
popular movement in a
version for string
quartet.
