Begun in 1999,
the work, which is
Kurtág s fourth string

long-running
Játékok for piano.
6 Moments musicaux was
dedicated to György
Kurtág junior, the
first entire performance
of the work took place by
the Keller Quartet in
February 2006 during the
five-day 80th birthday
celebration for Kurtág
in Bordeaux.

inches. My second
String Quartet was
written twenty years
after the first, Opus 4
from 1978. The First
Quartet is an obsessively
contrapuntal work in one
movement, which was no
doubt influenced by my
studies with David
Diamond. I had always
intended to return to the
medium once I left the
astringency of my earlier
style, but it was only
when the National
Federation of Music Clubs
commissioned a major
chamber work, with
unspecified
instrumentation, to
celebrate their 100th
Anniversary that I was
enabled to do so. The
Second Quartet is in four
movements: Moderato,
Allegro isterico, an
Andante theme with 11
variations, and the
closing Allegro, which
then returns to the tempo
of the first movement. An
audience member at the
premiere told me that she
heard echoes of recent
tragic events such as the
Oklahoma bombing in this
work. While I had no such
programmatic intent while
writing the quartet, it
was not an entirely
incorrect assessment of
the work's intended
emotional impact. The
quartet is pervaded by a
sense of seriousness,
even mournfulness. The
second movement's scherzo
is an aggressively
animated piece of musical
machinery. The third
movement's Variations
unfold into a greater
variety of moods than the
others - but the moments
of lyricism are countered
by aggressive or ironic
outbursts. The final
movement's attempt at
triumph quickly subsides
into a return of the
first movement, before
being transformed onto a
sense of resignation and
acceptance as the
chromaticism of the
opening theme is
transformed into a pure
and diatonic C-Major. The
work received its world
premiere by the Shanghai
Quartet at the 100th
Anniversary Congress of
the National Federation
of Music Clubs at the

Cuarteto San
Petersburgo (The Saint
Petersburg Quartet) was
written between January
and March 2011. It owes
its name to the fact that
Saint Petersburg has been
a very significant city
for me. I was invited
there in 1988 to take
part in a big
contemporary music
festival, but my
uninterrupted bond with
the city started on 2002,
thanks to the
negotiations of my friend
and pupil Albert Barbeta.
Since then, I have
constantly travelled
there in order to record
a considerable part of my
repertoire: seventeen
pieces. In addition to
the concerts we went to,
I took the opportunity
during my trips to visit
the well-known
conservatoire where so
many great personalities
from the world of music
composition once taught,
and the place that
launched the most
important violin school
in the whole of Russia:
the school of Leopoldo
Auer. Spending a long
time in Auer's classroom
writing my concert for
violin and orchestra was
an unforgettable
experience for me. His
large portrait motivated
me even
further.
Cuartet
o San Petersburgo evokes
many of the most
cherished and moving
moments that I have had
in this city. It is
structured in four
movements. The first one,
Allegretto-Allegro, opens
with an introduction that
sets forth the two main
themes, amid a soft and
elastic atmosphere. The
Allegro starts vigorously
and in it we find changes
in the tempo and moments
of mystery, as well as
certain seclusion,
returning then to the
emphatic theme where the
counterpoint finds its
place. The movement ends
placidly.
The
Scherzo-marcato that
follows is marked by a
persistent rhythm of
triplets that carries on
from beginning to end.
The tempo does not
change, but brief and
decided themes are
introduced, as well as
passages of counterpoint.
Brief and dissonant
chords are heard
throughout the movement,
which ends
vigorously.
The
third movement, Ut, is a
very special one. For a
while already I had been
playing with the idea of
writing a movement that
was to have the tonality
C as a leitmotiv. This
one is made up by two
slow and static parts. In
the first one, the first
violin plays
pizzicatti-glissandi. In
the second, the first
violin and particularly
the violoncello settle on
C while the other two
instruments produce
descending chromatic
harmonies.
Final
ly, the
Introduccion-Presto (the
Introduction-Presto). It
starts with some bucolic
passages which remind us
of the introduction to
the first movement. A
fast and energetic Presto
suddenly erupts. A kind
of moto perpetuo which
alternates with two
expressive passages and,
towards the end, a viola
and violoncello tremolo,
all of great mystery and
expectation, make way for
a resounding finale
marcato. $38.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

was once a star in her
country. The second is a
rough, fast and folk-like
section in 11/16 time and
the third, subtitled

(on a horse) gallops
through the forest
(pausing four times to
contemplate natural

the words of the
composer) 'hunting
gallops, a Feldmanesque

devilish fiddling,
moments of repose and
contemplation, and a

On not being able to look

For medium voice and
piano or ensemble of
flute, harp and string
quartet, Moon and
Birds is a
substantial cycle of
songs to words by Anne
Stevenson and Emily
Dickinson. Its sequence
of four settings,
'Blackbird', 'The moon is
distant' (Dickinson),
'Bird in hand' and 'On
not being able to look at
the moon' unfolds a
symmetrical structure of
contrasting yet
interlocking moods in
which the reflective
second and fourth
numbers, lunar visions of
mystic tranquillity
flawed by doubt and pain,
temper with human frailty
the bright epiphanies of
the first and third
songs. There is
a fascinating challenge
here for the performer to
embrace both elation and
gravitas in a single
reading, Samuel's
vigorous musical
invention binding the
developing web of feeling
with its own formal
strengths and subtly
illustrative moments. In
the version for string
quartet, flute and harp,
first performed by
Contemporary Connections
on 4 November 2011 at St
James's Church
Piccadilly, the flute
takes a prominent role
throughout. Violins,
viola and cello at times
elaborate on the simpler
textures of the keyboard
version, though the two
scores remain entirely
compatible. The bluesy
harmonies of the
concluding number,
whether weighted by
sonorous string quartet
or profiled in edgier
piano chords, bring the
cycle to a sombre
conclusion with a proper
sense of an emotional
world traversed. $11.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

English
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

la obra para violin de
J.S. Bach. Escrita el ano
2004, se trata de una

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
