In January
1964 Bernd Alois
Zimmermann interrupted
the completion of his
opera Die Soldaten [The
Soldiers] in order to
rearrange his orchestral
work Dialoge for two
pianos. Monologe takes up
the original material but
develops it towards a
different direction:
Zimmermann's collage
technique based on
quotations extends over
the entire musical
setting so that it is not
only Mozart (Piano
Concerto in C major KV
467) who has his say but
Beethoven, Messiaen and
Bach as well. Monologe is
a piece for two pianists;
real monologues of these
pianists who, though
simultaneously, [...] do
not always play at the
same time; [...] losing
themselves in their own
thoughts, as it were.
-Zimmermann.
