The arranger
of this work (a
well-known Hungarian
composer living in
Romania) writes: +This
piece has always excited
my imagination, from
several points of view.
First of all, its name.
The German title, the
obstinate one, may refer
to its ostinato
character. This is close
to Liszt's programme
concept, but the French
word 'obstine' is closer
in meaning to stubborn.
There is just a shade of
difference, but to me it
is important, because the
latter suggests the
description of a type of
behaviour, the emotional
state of a dancer's inner
frame of mind abstracted
into movements, expressed
in dance movements, and
this is a fascinating
interpretation. The
demonstration of stubborn
resistance and defiance
to the point of
exhaustion was not a
frequently occurring
phenomenon with Liszt.
Secondly, at the
beginning of the
seventies Zoltan Kocsis
played the piece in
Transylvania. At that
time, I asked the
composer, +Is the
character of the
continuous staccato in
the left hand sharp,
short, or an accompanying
background like a
constant shadow? Is it a
weighty Brahmsian
staccato, an ominous
knocking? - and so on.
Then there are the
Bartokian false relations
that keep recurring in
the work, the B-E flat-G,
etc. That foreshadows
Debussy, creating
harmonic thrills that,
when I hear the work,
keep my continuing
interest alive for it.
Finally, my immediate
reason for arranging the
work was of a family
nature: in connection
with Liszt's jubilee
year, my daughter, who is
a cellist, wanted a 'more
energetic' piece to play
at a bicentenary concert
an addition to the
existing slow, lyrical,
or sombre works written
by Liszt for the
cello.+.

In
1901, Flor Alpaerts
finished his music
studies at the Flemish
School of Music of
Antwerp, which later
became the Royal Flemish
Conservatory. He studied
harmony and composition
with Jan Blockx. In 1903
he became professor at
this institute and from
1934 until 1941 its
director. For one season
(1922-1923) he was also
director of the Royal
Flemish Opera House of
Antwerp together with the
Bass Arthur Steurbaut.
His fame, as a composer
and a conductor, came
shortly after World War
I, when he succeeded in
1919 Eduard Keurvels as
conductor of the concerts
organized by the Royal
Zoological Society of
Antwerp and as artistic
director of the Peter
Benoit Fonds. He also
conducted the choral
group Arti Vocali. As a
composer, Flor Alpaerts
was the leading figure in
the Flemish
impressionistic movement.
An impressionism that
came closer to Richard
Strauss and Ottorino
Respighi than to Claude
Debussy. A highlight in
this direction was the
symphonic poem Pallieter
(1921-1924). With his
suite James Ensor,
inspired by four works of
the Ostend painter, he
created an
expressionistic work. In
his later compositions he
turned to
neo-classicism.
