I
became interested in the
work of Plato through my
friend and collaborator,
the writer and
philosopher Paul
Woodruff. Paul's new
translation, with
Alexander Nehamas, of the
Symposium gave me
insights into ancient
Greek ways of thinking
about Love, Beauty, and
Wisdom -- and managed to
keep the earthy, and
often bawdy side of it
all in full view. But
their new translation of
Plato's later dialogue
Phaedrus went even
further: the beauty of
the speeches is
breathtaking, and the
discourse itself is
enough to keep one awake
at night. Basically the
Great Speech of Socrates
in the Phaedrus dialogue
has to do with the place
of Eros in the world, and
with the conflict in the
soul between fleshly
pleasure and philosophic
discovery. I will not
attempt to encapsulate
this brilliant discourse
in a program note:
suffice it to say that
reading it gave rise to
my two-sided work for
clarinet, violin, and
piano, Phaedrus. The
first movement represents
the Philosophic life, and
is thus subtitled
Apollo's Lyre (Invocation
and Hymn). It begins with
an unaccompanied melody
for the clarinet, which
(after a pair of
harp-like flourishes for
the piano, expands into
an accompanied canon. The
voices in the dialogue
(clarinet and violin)
follow each other by a
prescribed number of
beats, but the music is
totally devoid of any
meter at all. The piano,
representing the lyre,
accompanies this lyric
love-feast with repeated
strummed chords. The
canon has three large
sections, and ends with
violin echoing the
unaccompanied clarinet
invocation as the sound
of the lyre fades. The
second movement, called
Dionysus' Dream-Orgy
(Ritual Dance) presents,
after a brief
introduction, another
kind of unmetered music.
Rather than long lyric
flights of philosophic
song, however, this time
we hear a unison dance of
unbridled energy and
sensual transport. The
piece soon forms itself
into a loose arch form,
with contrasting metered
dance sections divided by
the unison unmetered orgy
tune. Midway through the
movement, Apollo's melody
returns from the first
movement, but it is a
temporary reminiscence.
The orgiastic dance
returns, reaches a
climax, and ends with a
stomping of feet. While
Plato asserts that a
proper balance between
lust and reason is
necessary in all men, he
(naturally) gives the nod
to Philosophy as the
better choice in which to
live. Not so in my music:
the two sides are meant
to coexist and to
complement each other. No
sides are taken. Phaedrus
was commissioned of the
Verdehr Trio by Michigan
State University. It is
dedicated to the Vedehr
Trio with great affection
and admiration.

Celebrating
30 years, the
Philadelphia Chamber
Music Society
commissioned a work of
20-25 minutes for violin
and piano from James
Primosch, University of
Pennsylvania professor of
music. Primosch had
originally thought to
create a new sonata, but
what developed is more
appropriately a set of
five character pieces,
two of which were
directly inspired by
poems. Five Poems was
premiered in May, 2016,
and Primosch's thoughts
are recorded at his
website:
https://jamesprimosch.com
/2016/05/10/five-poems-pr
emiere/. Upon
receiving a commission
from the Philadelphia
Chamber MusicSociety for
a violin and piano piece
in honor of its 30th
anniversary, myplan was
to write a sonata, a term
suggesting a relatively
abstractdiscourse. But as
the piece developed, the
movements struck me
ascharacter pieces rather
than music employing a
more
“symphonicâ€ap
proach. When specific
poems started to attach
themselves in my mindwith
two of the movements, the
overall title Five Poems
became clear.The title of
the second movement is a
line from Susan
Stewart’s“De
scentâ€, which deals
with Aeneas’s
visit to the underworld.
The musicis alternately
fiercely driving and
quite still, though
tense.
RobertFrost’s
Nothing Gold Can Stay
summons fleet scale
passages framinglyrical
counterpoint. The
remaining movements do
not refer to
specificpoems, but have
titles reflecting their
expressive tone.
Dreamscape ismusing with
an improvisatory violin
line over shifting pairs
of pianochords. Nightsong
is a bluesy lullaby that
turns highly
dramatic.Vision begins
with a closely argued
struggle but breaks

In 1979,
Martin produced a set of
three quintets, in
consideration of Gorky's
piece Nighttime Enigma
Nostalgia. Each is scored
for flute, clarinet,
violin, cello, and piano.
As the title suggests,
the music is in a state
of perpetual questioning
using a variety of
approaches. For example,
Enigma opens using
ostinati (plural of
ostinato) that do not
match in length, like a
staircase with each step
a different height.
Additionally, the music
has sudden starts and
stops, again unexplained.
There are dramatic and
powerful explosive
passages that are
interrupted. The
technique, used to create
this feeling of a
perplexed music world
where things seem often
not to make sense and to
be left unresolved, is
called in poetry and
literature, anticlimax.
In Enigma, the music
suggests one direction;
then refuses to continue,
striking out in another
direction. Artists use
approaches such as this
to force themselves into
creative circumstances
that they otherwise might
not have discovered.

notes.).

These six
short pieces might more
readily be described as
fantasies, each with its
own sound-world but
linked by shared
material. The mood of
each of these short
movements is guided by an
imaginary landscape, one
shadowed by the blackened
tree, a far-away song,
shadows past, a
quickening moon,
forgotten voices, and by
the harrowed land. The
title of the last
movement plays on the
word harrow, something
that is used to break up
the soil, but also
bringing with it
suggestions of a land
both pained and
wounded.

This work
is part of a cycle of
five short pieces for a
single instrument and
piano, focused on the
five ages in the
cosmogony of Ancient
Mexican civilisation. The
peoples of the Mexican
highlands believe that
time follows specific
cycles and that the world
was created following the
pattern of 'trial and
error'. The creation of
the world is divided into
several periods which are
termed 'suns' (we are
currently living in the
fifth phase named
'Ollin'). Each period
will be brought to an end
through a natural
catastrophe.Solei-Feu
refers to the first
attempt to create a world
out of a rain of fire
(nahui quiahuitl).The
element of fire is
reflected in the musical
soundscape of this work,
constructed from rampant,
rhythmic motifs,
fragmented splinters,
spinning upswings and
impacts reverberating
through space. An
intimate dialogue
develops between violin
and piano on the basis of
extremely simple figures.
Interconnecting lines and
dense musical material
are thrown against each
other in a play of
contrasting registers and
blended tonal colouring,
creating a mysterious and
disturbing mythological
universe coloured by its
ontological pessimism.

Just like
many other violin
virtuosos of the 19th
century, Pablo de
Sarasate also composed a
series of pieces for
violin and piano (or
orchestra) for his own
concert use. Highly
virtuosic salon pieces
with echoes of national
folk music traditions
from all over Europe are
at the centre. Sarasate
published his eight
Spanish dances in four
books between 1878 and
1882. They alternate
between fiery passion and
a yearning
expressiveness, and are
undoubtedly among his
most successful
compositions. In masterly
fashion, Sarasate here
mixes up Spanish folk
tunes with arrangements
of popular compositions
of the time. As in the
case of the Henle Urtext
edition of Sarasate's
Zigeunerweisen (HN 573),
a violin wizard of our
own time is responsible
for the fingerings and
bowings: Ingolf
Turban.
