comments: A Bach for
string quartet is another
evocation of the past, in
this case of J.S. Bach's
works for violin. Written
in 2004, it is a
recreation of two of the
most important movements
in the series of Sonatas
and Partitas: The Adagio
of the third Sonata and
the Prelude of the third
Partita (BWV 1005 and
1006, respectively).
Jordi Cervello was a
violinist and, as such,
it should come as no
surprise that he once
again makes use of
compositions written for
his instrument. The
Adagio, here in common
time (the original by
Bach is in three-four
time), keeps up the
constant rhythmic figure
of the dotted quaver and
semi-quaver throughout
the movement, with a
calmness that is shrouded
in mystery. The second
movement, Preludiando,
retains the same lively
spirit as the original,
but explores different
moods. Moments of calm,
vigour and even some
dramatic points give it a
new dimension thanks to
the fact that it is
written for a quartet and
to Cervello's original
treatment of harmony and
counterpoint.
Co
mentarios del
Espanol: A Bach para
cuarteto de cuerda es
otra evocacion del
pasado, en este caso de
la obra para violin de
J.S. Bach. Escrita el ano
2004, se trata de una
recreacion de dos de los
movimientos mas
importantes de la serie
de Sonatas y Partitas: El
Adagio de la tercera
Sonata y el Preludio de
la tercera Partita (BWV
1005 y 1006
respectivamente). Jordi
Cervello fue violinista
y, como tal, no debe
sorprender que una vez
mas se sirva de material
compositivo procedente de
su instrumento. El
Adagio, aqui en compas de
cuatro (el original de
Bach es de tres) conserva
en todo el movimiento la
constante figura ritmica
de corchea con puntillo y
semicorchea, dentro de un
clima sereno pero rodeado
de misterio. El segundo
movimiento, Preludiando,
conserva el mismo
espiritu vivo del
original, pero
recorriendo diferentes
estados de animo.
Momentos de calma, de
vigor e incluso
dramaticos dan nueva
dimension gracias a la
escritura cuartetistica y
al original tratamiento
armonico y
contrapuntistico de
Cervello. A Bach se
estreno en La Pedrera de
Barcelona dentro del
ciclo Celebracions de la
Fundacio Caixa de
Catalunya en el ano 2006
con el Quarteto
Prometeo.

C'est apres
un entretien avec le
Professeur Yuji Ikegaya
concernant ses recherches
en neurologie que j'ai
voulu travailler sur
quelques particularites
fonctionnelles du cerveau
humain. Quatre de ces
specificites ont retenu
mon attention. La
premiere est ce qui est
de l'ordre de l'autonomie
ou de l'independance. En
effet, alors qu'aucune
stimulation exterieure
n'ait lieu, le cerveau
humain montre des
activites spontanees qui
s'expriment sous forme de
patterns fixes. La
seconde est le principe
d'<> des
gestes ou des phrases
avec le fonctionnement
des neurones miroirs :
l'homme apprend en
imitant les gestes des
autres, c'est la source
d'emotions comme la
compassion ou la
sympathie. La troisieme
est liee a
l'apprentissage spontane
et l'auto-renouvellement
du cerveau, faculte qui
le differencie
singulierement de
l'ordinateur. Enfin la
conscience du <>,
qui est ce qui le
differencie du cerveau de
l'animal. J'ai trouve
dans la forme classique
et austere du quatuor un
terrain d'exploration
ideal pour elaborer ce
projet musical. Le
quatuor est en effet
compose des quatre
cerveaux des musiciens,
mais il est egalement une
entite a part entiere, un
centre nevralgique
unitaire. L'ecriture
musicale procede ainsi
par imitation, sur une
base de patterns qui
varie constamment dans
une quete identitaire et
dans son rapport a
l'autre et aux autres
(musiciens). L'autre,
c'est egalement
l'autiste, celui qui
n'arrive pas bien a
imiter et a comprendre
les expressions, emotions
et gestes exterieurs. La
question des rapports
devient alors celle de la
dependance, de
l'independance et/ou de
l'interdependance. Elle
est au centre de mon
processus compositionnel
qui, par l'organisation
et la sonification des
comportements aux
differentes voix du
quatuor, est egalement un
moyen de me questionner
en tant que compositrice,
sur mon identite et sur
mon propre rapport au
monde. (Misato
Mochizuki)

‘Bella
Ciao’ originated
as an Italian folk song,
stemming all the way from
the late 19th century.
Many versions have since
appeared over the years,
but the song now has a
new lease of life owing
to a new dance adaption
as well as its feature as
the theme for the Netflix
series La Casa de
Papel, which has
inspired Anthony
Gröger to create this
dynamic arrangement for
string
quartet.

This
work follows my Quartet
No. 1 by five years. In
terms of style and
aesthetic aim, however,
it seems light years
away. Where the first
work, a 28-minute,
four-movement piece, took
aim at cosmic conflicts
and heroic resolutions,
the present work is
intended as a kind of
divertissment. Harbor
Music lasts a mere eleven
minutes, is cast in a
single movement with six
sections, and should
leave both performers and
listeners with a feeling
of good humor and
affection. The
title comes from my
experience as a guest in
the magnificent city of
Sydney, Australia. One of
its most attractive
features is its unique
system of ferry boats:
the city is laid out
around a large,
multi-channeled harbor,
with destinations more
easily approached by
water than by land.
Consequently, inhabitants
of Sydney get around on
small, people-friendly
boats that come and go
from the central docks at
Circular Quay. During a
week's visit in 1991, I
must have boarded these
boats at least a dozen
times, always bound for a
new location - the resort
town of Manley, or the
Zoo at Taronga Park, or
the shopping district at
Darling Harbour.
In casting about for a
form for my second string
quartet, a kind of loose
rondo came to mind. Each
new destination would be
approached from the same
starting-out point
(although there are
subtle variations in the
repeating theme; it's
always in a new key, and
the texture is never the
same). The result, I
hope, is a sense of
constant new information
presented with
introductory frames of a
more familiar nature.
The embarkation
theme, which begins the
piece, is a sort of
bi-tonal fanfare in which
the violins are in G
major and the viola and
cello are in B-flat
major. It is bold, eager,
and forward-looking. The
first voyage maintains
this bi-tonality,
beginning as a 9/8 due
for second violin and
viola in a kind of
rocking motion -much as a
boat produces when
reaching the deeper water
in the harbor. A sweet,
nostalgic theme emerges
over this rocking
accompaniment. This music
is developed somewhat,
then transforms quickly
into a much faster and
lighter episode, filled
with rising and falling
scales (again, in
differing keys). A
scherzando interlude in
short notes and changing
meters provides contrast,
and the episode ends with
a reprise of the scales.
The second
embarkation follows, this
time in A major/C major.
It leads quickly into a
very warm and slow theme,
in wide-leaping intervals
for the viola. This
section is interrupted
twice by solo cadenzas
for the cello, suggesting
distant boat-horns in
major thirds. The end of
the episode becomes a
transition, with
boat-horns leading into
the final appearance of
the embarkation music,
this time in trills and
tremolos instead of
sharply accented chords.
The nostalgic theme of
the first episode makes a
final appearance, serving
now as a coda. The
rocking motion continues,
in a lullaby fashion,
leaving us drowsy and
satisfied on our homeward
journey. Harbor
Music was written for the
Cavani Quartet, and is
dedicated to Richard J.
Bogomolny. Commissioned
by his employees at First
National Supermarkets as
a gift, it represents a
thank you from many of
the people (including
this composer) who have
benefitted from his
vision and generosity. An
ardent advocate of
chamber music (and a
cellist himself), Mr.
Bogomolny has for many
years been Chairman of
the Board of Chamber
Music America. -- Dan

The Phantom
of the Opera is,
without doubt, one of the
great classics of our
time. The stage
production of this tale,
exciting and mysterious
in equal measure, has now
captivated over a million
theatre-goers. The
phantom sings the song
The Music of the
Night to the
beautiful Christine, who
he has just kidnapped
into his realm, as if
entrancing her. This
enchanting mood is so
authentically recreated
in Nico Dezaire’s
sensitive arrangement for
string quartet that it
feels like listening to
the singer perform the
original version from the
musical.
De

van dit spannende en

miljoenenpubliek

The Music of the
Night brengt het
spook de mooie Christine,
die hij zojuist naar zijn
rijk heeft ontvoerd, als
het ware in trance. De
betoverende sfeer wordt
in dit gevoelige
strijkkwartetarrangement
van de hand van Nico
Dezaire zo authentiek
overgebracht, dat het
voelt alsof je luistert
naar de zanger in de

dem Lied The Music of

Eben diese Stimmung
lässt Nico Dezaire in

glaubwürdig wieder
aufleben, dass es sich so
anfühlt, als höre
man dem Sänger der
originalen
Musical-Fassung
