Three works
with quotations from
well-known composers are
contained in this
tongue-in-cheek
collection. Otto M.
Schwarz has produced an
outstanding recording of
these works with members
of the Slovak
Philharmonic, which is
available on all
streaming and download
platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS
WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart's own watch - if
he had one - ticks away.
The ticking carries us
back in time with a piece
that stylistically
imitates the music of the
18th century in melody,
harmony and rhythm. 2.
COMPOSERS DINNER IN
HEAVEN: At the music
publisher De Haske, a
composers' dinner was an
integral part of trade
fairs or meetings. The
dinner was very popular
among anyone who sat at
it, not least of all
because it offered one
the opportunity to chat
informally. Based on such
a meeting, Otto M.
Schwarz has composed a
work that describes an
imaginary dinner of great
classical masters on a
cloud in the sky. Guess
which composers are
present by the references
in the form of musical
quotations and stylistic
devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR
WOOD QUARTET: The work,
in 12/8 time, moves in a
rapid furioso.
Underscored by a
continuous eighth note
rhythm, the work creates
in the listener the
sensation of a frantic
rollercoaster ride. The
theme moves throughout
all the parts, and
following a chromatically
moving chord sequence,
ends in a dramatic
crescendo.
