The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments, on the other hand, they have an often underestimated potential of 'twilight': air-sounds and fragile, shady colours have a especially attractive when being produced by double-reed instruments (which are often, and superficially regarded as being less capable of differentiated sounds than flute or clarinet). The piano, too, has a broad bandwidth of possibilities between percussive and delicate playing to complement the woodwinds which, in return, can absorb and continue the fading piano sounds.The beginning introduces the two contrasting elements that form the basic material for the piece: a clear, sharp chord, followed by fragile, dim sounds. The changes between these elements as well as their combination and amalgamation produce an enormous spectrum of colours and gesture. After this 'motto-like' opening follow four quite clearly separated short sections, each of them being characterised by a well-defined texture: a partly almost imperceptible air-sound passage, a short sequence of microintervallic notes, a burst of virtuosity and a recourse to the fragile sounds of the beginning.The second, longer main part consists of three sections merging subtly into each other: a short unisono-passage, marked elastic [federnd], is being dissolved into its basic elements; from these remainders, a confrontation of low, 'arcane' bassoon and piano sounds and a strongly ornamented melodic line of the oboe emerges, leading to a short but powerful climax. The piece is concluded by an extended, relaxed epilogue, containing a short piano solo and a duet of oboe and bassoon and, finally, a quotation of the 'elastic' character of the middle section.Benjamin Schweitzer.

En 1836, le compositeur Félicien David édite les « Mélodies orientales ». Elles comptent au total vingt et une pièces dont dix-huit ont été rééditées en 1845 sous le titre « Brises d'Orient » et trois autres sous le titre « Les Minarets ».
A leur sortie, ces mélodies n'obtiennent pas un grand succès. Deux raisons peuvent l'expliquer. D'une part, un incendie détruit une partie des stocks de partitions imprimées. D'autre part, le public, qui avait aimé les « Orientales  » du poète Victor Hugo et les « Pestiférés de Jaffa » du peintre Eugène Delacroix, ne semblait pas être attiré par l'orientalisme musical.
Les brises d'Orient possèdent la puissance des charmes orientaux plutôt doux. Le compositeur traduit à merveille l'atmosphère orientale en marquant les rythmes par des basses étonnantes.
Plus que des formes traditionnelles, ce qu'il faut retenir de ces pièces est le fait qu'elles racontent de belles histoires avec toujours une dynamique très réussie de passages lents et de passages vifs et rapides.
L'écriture de Félicien David ne manque pas de couleurs. Cependant il n'essaie pas d'appliquer l'exotisme du Moyen-Orient. Les mélodies chantent naturellement à travers ses pièces.
En écoutant « à une Smyrniote » comme dans les autres pièces se révèle un orientalisme assez peu oriental pour nous aujourd'hui. A l'origine, l'orientalisme est un mouvement artistique, ce qui signifie qu'il ne peut être fidèlement lié à la reproduction de la réalité.
Dans cette pièce, la mélodie est liée sans nul doute à la basse harmonique très mise en valeur par des accentuations rythmiques qui constituent une assise solide. Des reprises de passages musicaux dans l'enchaînement de l'œuvre révèlent des atmosphères complètement différentes, suggérant au pianiste un nouveau fil conducteur dans l'interprétation.

Seule exception dans les 40 années où César Franck tient le piano à l’écart, cette séduisante pièce date de 1865. Écrite dans le ton de sol majeur, elle se divise en 3 parties bien distinctes. L’écriture est sobre, presque grave, malgré son apparente ingénuité. La mélodie, très expressive, est jouée par la main droite alors que la main gauche se contente de l’accompagnement selon le principe de la « basse d’Alberti ». La partie centrale, en sol mineur, déroge cependant à cette règle avec son motif chromatique de caractère plus tourmenté. Morceau fétiche des musiciens amateurs, « Les plaintes d’une poupée » a l’immense mérite d’allier qualité d’écriture et simplicité d’exécution. Pour le bonheur de tous….

Given the opportunity to create a concertante work for violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and the spirited New Century Chamber Orchestra, violinist-turned-composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich looked to the commedia dell’arte tradition for a special theatrical program. With movements depicting the Harlequin, Columbine, and Captain characters from Italian Renaissance romantic comedies, Zwilich has created a playful, charming, and dramatic work, also adding percussion surprises for extra color in the string orchestra. For advanced players. Parts are available on rental.
