Nocturnes
have a long tradition -
from the notturni by
Mozart and Haydn via the
nocturnes of the Romantic
era to Chopin who
elevated the genre to
fascinating character
piece: He created
ambivalently shining gems
in an unreal world of
human nature which were
as close to the extremely
sublime as to a demonic
abyss. Enjott Schneider's
'3 Nocturnes', the core
of each of which is
characterized by a Latin
motto, stand in this
tradition. Cicero's
'Somnus est imago mortus'
sees sleep as a
resemblance of death.
'Die Zeit eilt weg, die
Liebe aber bleibt' [Time
passes but love remains]
explores the ambivalence
between that what is
hurrying and that what
stays eternally. Ovid's
'Der Tropfen hohlt den
Stein nicht durch Kraft,
sondern durch stetes
Fallen' [The drop hollows
the stone, not by force
but by constant dripping]
has its counterpart in a
minimalist motif which
has a lasting influence
on the listener through
its constant
sounding.
