Imag
es of the sea figure
prominently throughout my
life and memories: from
holidays on the Atlantic
coast during my Canadian
childhood to my current
Baltic home, and the
imagined, only later
experienced Mediterranean
of my ancestral heritage.
As an immigrant (son of
an immigrant) bound to
two northern countries,
the sea is emblematic of
my twin homelands, from
the expanses of water
surrounding them to those
separating them. A Mari
usque ad Mare. The sea is
also an enduring image of
the unknown, of expanses
unexplored, of the raw
power of nature and, for
too many currently, of
terror holding a hope of
refuge - or the pain of
loss. Such disparate
ideas were captured for
me in the seascapes of
the New York painter
MaryBeth Thielhelm, whom
I met in 2008 during a
residency on the Gulf of
Mexico. Her vast,
abstract, nearly
monochromatic depictions
of imaginary seas in
wildly varying moods were
the catalyst for a
concerto where the piano
is frequently far from a
hero battling a
collective, but rather
acts as a channel for
elemental forces surging
up from the orchestra,
floating - sometimes
barely so - on its
constantly shifting
surface. There are few
themes to speak of,
beyond a handful of
iconic ideas that
periodically cycle
upward. Rather, the
piano's material is
largely an ornamentation
of the more primal
rhythmic and harmonic
impulses from the
orchestra below - a
poetic interpretation, if
you will, of the more
immediate experience of
facing the vastness of
some unknown body of
water. The title
Nameless Seas is borrowed
from one of Thielhelm's
exhibitions, as are those
of the four movements,
which are bridged
together into two halves
of roughly equal weight -
one rhapsodic and free,
the other more
single-minded and direct,
separated only by a short
breath. The opening
movement, Nocturne, is
predominantly calm, if
brooding, darkness and
light alternating
throughout. Lyrical
arabesques sparkle over
gently lapping
cross-currents in the
strings and mirrored
timpani, the piano's full
power only rarely
deployed. The waves
gradually build, drawing
in the full orchestra for
a meeting of forces in
Land and Sea, a brighter,
more warmly lyrical scene
that unfolds in series of
dreamlike, sometimes even
nostalgic visions, which
for me carry strong
memories of sitting on
rocks above surging
Atlantic waves. The third
movement, Wake, is a
fast, perpetual-motion
texture of glinting,
darting rhythms and
sudden shafts of light,
with a prominent part for
the steel drums, limning
the piano's quicksilver
figurations. An ecstatic
climax crashes into a
solo cadenza that grows
progressively calmer and
more introspective rather
than virtuosic. Much of
the tension finally
releases into Unclaimed
Waters, a drifting,
meditative seascape in
which the piano is
progressively engulfed by
a series of ever-taller
waves, ultimately
dissolving into a
tolling, rippling
continuum of sound.
It has been a great
privilege to realize such
a long-held dream as this
piece, and to write it
for not one, but two
great pianists.
Risto-Matti Marin and
Angela Hewitt, both of
whose friendship and
support have been
unfailing and humbling,
share the dedication.
Nameless Seas was
commissioned by the
PianoEspoo festival and
Canada's National Arts
Centre, with the
premieres in Ottawa and
Helsinki led by Hannu
Lintu and Olari Elts.
Thanks are due also to
the Jenny and Antti
Wihuri fund, whose
generous grant provided
me with much-needed time,
and Escape to Create in
Seaside, Florida, the
source to which I
returned to do a large
part of the work.

The
editorial quality of the
new edition is guaranteed
not only by Schiff's
sensitive fingerings and
stylistically
well-grounded cadenzas,
but also by the Mozart
scholar Norbert Gertsch
to whom Henle has
entrusted its urtext
editions.Breitkopf/Henle
cooperation means: Each
work is edited according
to predetermined
standardized editorial
guidelines. First and
foremost among the
sources consulted were
Mozart's handwritten
scores, being the most
important sources. In
some cases they had not
been available when the
previous editions were
being prepared. Moreover,
we know today that in
addition to Mozart's own
manuscripts, early copies
in parts and prints also
contain important
information regarding the
musical text.Die
Editionen werden den
Intentionen des
Komponisten so weit wie
moglich gerecht. Gemass
Mozarts Anweisungen in

der Partituren als auch
der Klavierauszuge
durchgangig die
Bassstimme des Orchesters
wiedergegeben. (Andreas

particulier de cette

dans les notations

pour source la premiere

Joseph Joachim et Robert
Hausmann avec, tres
probablement,
l'autorisation du

Score of
the Danish Composer's
Concerto for Piano and
Orchestra written in
1996. Bent Sorensen
writes: 'The title of
this piano concerto came,
as usual, very early to
me, when my thoughts
about the work had
started to circulate, but
before 'real' music was
written down. I held on
to the Italian title,
even though its
association with Vivaldi
had no influence on my
music, and even when
German, French, English,
and Danish titles
covering almost the same
content -'Nachtmusik',
'Nocturne', 'By Night',
'Om Natten', were just
about to get the upper
hand. The piano concerto
has, then, in my opinion,
something to do with
night, but to describe
this further is at least
as difficult to me as it
is to defend the final
Italian title against
those which were
rejected. The Piano
Concerto is in two
movements. The first,
swarming, is perhaps the
mystery of the night, and
the second perhaps the
dreams of the night; with
this, however, I have
already given the
concerto a more
programmatic content than
I can defend. Each
movement ends with a
cadenza and perhaps the
last of those - the
ending of the work that
is - is inspired by a
sequence from Bruce
Chatwin's wonderful book
'The Viceroy of Ouidah':
Or the Amazons howling.
'No, No, No. It was not
the leopard that killed
him. Not the buffalo that
killed him. It was night.
Night that killed
him!'.
