The
study in synchronicity,
se sont penches dessus
first achieved its final
scoring after many
changes. It was first
composed as music to a
choreography by Gabriel
Hernandez: Le (!). eh ?
Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouv
ian (dmzn !) ; se sont
penches dessus, which is
based on the letters of a
fragment translated into
French that appears in
James Joyce's Finnegan's
Wake. The short, static
piece has existed in
three versions: 1. -
sspd , electronic music
(normal version, a
glissando from one chord
of four sounds to
another, employed in the
electronics of No. 3) 2.
- sspd sature,
electronic music
(intentionally distorted
version of No. 1) 3. -
se sont penches dessus
for violin, alto flute
and electronics, in which
the flutist had to sing
one tone of a diad It
turns out that a version
for two equal string
instruments can better
render the harmony of the
piece (a tone sung
simultaneously with a
tone that is played on
the flute yields a
ring-modulated mixture of
sound which is too
indistinct), and thus the
duo version for 2 violins
was composed. A
collaboration with the
Kairos Quartet, Berlin,
(le second tour du noye,
3rd String Quartet) led
me to smuggle a viola and
cello into the piece as
background, in order to
glue the abrupt harmonic
changes discretely
together. The Duo and the
Quartet are definitive
and equally valid
versions, both of which
are available separately:
Duo (Carus 16.327/10),
Quartet (Carus 16.327).
se sont penches dessus
is now literally the
transposition of the
translated quotation from
James Joyce, in which the
letters of the text se
sont penches dessus
establish the basic
structure of the piece
(the rhythmic standstill
denotes the vowels of the
4 words), the letters of
Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouv
ian indicate the fine
rhythmic structure and
the manner of playing
(e.g., sul ponticello).

The
rediscovery of the
original manuscripts of
Max Reger's works for
violin, viola and
violoncello op. 131a-d in
the Prague Conservatory
Library represents a
small sensation.These
late works for solo
strings dating from 1914
and 1915, the last of
which appeared only
posthumously, were
previously known only
from their first prints.
The three duosop.
131b for two violins were
composed within a few
days, shortly after
Easter 1914; it is
particularly in this case
that access to Reger's
autograph is of great
value in terms
ofproviding insight
into the genesis of the
works.
