When
Hugo Ticciati asked me to
write a new piece for his
quartet, I was
immediately enthusiastic
about this project. I
love how Hugo and his
O/MODERNT String Quartet
unite old and new music
in a completely natural
way. So, I was absolutely
excited about Hugo`s idea
of having my piece based
on two of my idols, Bach
and Beethoven,
deconstructing the one
and constructing the
other. With all my
respect for these great
composers I gave to the
piece a very personal
inner part consisting of
my own music that
influenced and inspired
the other parts. For the
whole piece I felt very
close to Beethoven, who
said: To make a fugue is
not art, which [is
something] I have made
dozens of times in my
study. But the
imagination will assert
its rights and must come
today, in light of the
old traditional form, to
another truly poetic
element. De/Con is a
travel into different
centuries with different
sound-languages. For me,
it was like having a
wonderful constructive
discussion with Johann
Sebastian Bach and Ludwig
van Beethoven, each of us
trying to speak our own
language, approaching the
others step by step. The
piece could be defined as
a Love Letter to two of
the greatest composers
ever. De/Con could be
preceded by (parts of)
Johann Sebastian Bach's
Die Kunst der Fuge (The
Art of the Fugue) and
succeeded by Ludwig van
Beethoven's Grosse Fuge
(Great Fugue). Ideally,
then, all parts should be
played attacca. It could,
but it hasn't to be
played with these two
pieces. (Manuela
Kerer)

String
Quartet No. 5 consists of
two contrasting
movements. The first
movement, being present,
immediately leads to an
atmosphere of high
emotional tension. The
prevailing atmospheric
elements of the music are
dramatic and passionate,
alternating with each
other like a
kaleidoscope. In contrast
to that, a second theme
is intoned three times -
an invitation, a memory
of the existence of
another world, a
light-house which
illuminates the twilight
in which we live so
often. But this
invitation remains
unheard. The first
movement concludes with
dissonances in the upper
register - a cry of utter
desperation.The second
movement, so distant ...
yet so near, is the calm,
unhurried vocal section
of the quartet. A
forgiving, loving look at
a world tortured by grief
and contradictions.
Gradually, the singing
becomes more personal,
more emotional and more
dramatic. The rhythmic
figure of a funeral march
in the recapitulation of
the second movement is a
gesture of loss.
Eventually, the quartet
loses itself in an
atmosphere of
light-filled grief.

Alexander
Zemlinsky's music was
long unjustly
overshadowed by what was
regarded as the
“more
progressive†Second
Viennese School. Although
Zemlinsky was close
friends with its
protagonist Arnold
Schönberg, he never
did take the latter's
radical step into
dodecaphony. At the same
time, he composed works
that were no less
original or fully
fledged. Composed between
1913 and 1915, his Second
String Quartet in
particular pushed the
contemporaneous
understanding of form and
tonality to its limits.
With just one movement
but spanning over 1,200
measures, this
multi-faceted work
numbers among the most
significant contributions
to the genre of the time
and has long merited a
critical new edition. The
Urtext edition by G.
Henle Publishers corrects
many errors and
inaccuracies in the first
edition that came to
light after careful
comparison with the
autograph sources in
Vienna and Washington.
For the first time, too,
the metronome markings
that survive only in one
of Zemlinsky's letters
have been incorporated.

Endowment Fund in

[COPYRIGHT RETURNED TO

by Edward Cowie. This
edition: Saddle

pages. Duration 15'.

Although
this is technically
Cowie's seventh string
quartet, it replaces his
earlier fourth quartet,
which he came to feel no
longer fit with his
compositional voice. The
quartet fluctuates
between a slow, luminous
sound and fast, agitated
music. Unlike much of
Cowie's work, this music
is abstracted from his
usual preoccupation with
the natural world,
turning instead to look
at an inner landscape.
The composer describes
the emotional force
behind his quartet: The
year 2009 was a terrible
year in which I lost
three close friends to
cancer and an elder
brother to Alzheimer's
disease. It was also a
year in which my wife was
diagnosed with breast
cancer; something from
which she has thankfully
made a great recovery. At
times like these,
emotions are sorely
tested and highlighted.
Four people I loved have
gone, so this music must
remain as testament not
to death, but to the
magnificent fragility and
loveliness of life. It
closes with a gentle and
almost vaporising
'benediction' a kind of
'amen' if you like.
