1. Choral: An
improbably superimposing
of Beethoven and Brahms.
At the end of the first
performance of the
latter's 1st Symphony,
someone asked the
composer: Don't you find
that your main theme
remin ds one of the Ode
to Joy? To which he
retorted: Even an idiot
would have noticed it! 2.
Fugue: in the last
exposition, the subject
of Fugue I from volume 1
of Bach's Well-Tempered
Keyboard is super imposed
on the theme from
Mozart's so-called easy
sonata. 3. Passion: In
his Violin Concerto,
Mendelssohn, to whom we
owe the rediscovery of
Bach's Passions, seems to
have borrowed a theme
from a lost Passion. 4.
Recitativo: Tribute to
Franck's tribute to Bach
in his Sonata for violin
and piano. 5. Invention:
A private revenge, after
a bitter failure.
Debussy's Toccata was on
the compulsory list for
the Conservatory piano
class entrance exam. 6.
Arpeggione: In which the
listener realizes the
similarity in the
introduction to
Schubert's Unfinished
Symphony and Arpeggione
Sonata. 7. Sarabande: The
most iconoclastic, for
Bach's 5th Cello Suite is
already suffused with
harmony. There might be
an evocatioin of a
Brahms-like overarching
structure, though... 8.
Variation: The slowest
variation ever written on
Paganini's 24th Caprice.
9. Scene: Schumann's
Reverie as a Prelude. 10.
Finale: In order to
capture the elusive
harmony of the Finale of
Chopin's Sonate Funebre.
11. Fugue on Au clair de
la lune: Our greatest
nursery rhymes, fugue
fitted and choralized.
12. Fugue de Noel
(Christmas fugue): Quite
appropriate. 13. Fugue on
J'ai du bon tabac:
Prohibited counterpoint.
14. Fugue on La
Marseillaise:
Franco-German
reconciliation. 15. Pedal
- Exercitium: Realization
and conclusion of Bach's
organ pedal exercies.
