Downloadable, Performance score. Duration 30 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q2798. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q2798). In addition to his extensive musical expertise, Bernd Alois Zimmermann was also extremely knowledgeable in other fields, above all in philosophy and literature. The composer had devoted himself intensely to the concept of time within the area of philosophy: he became famous for his concept of the â€œsphericality of timeâ€. In his work PrÃ©sence, apparently disparate elements are pulled together in an all-embracing simultaneity. The three instrumentalists are assigned literary figures who can all be considered as constants in Zimmermannâ€™s Å“uvre: Ubu Roi (piano), a voracious grotesquely caricatured tyrant from Alfred Jarryâ€™s absurd play, Miguel de Cervantesâ€™ Don Quijote (violin) and Molly Bloom (cello) from James Joyceâ€™s ground-breaking novel Ulysses. The instrumentalists are accompanied by a silent (!) â€œspeakerâ€ who hisses so-called â€œword emblemsâ€ from Paul Poertnerâ€™s volume of poems Wurzelwerk between the movements. The word emblem for Scene 3 incorporating musical quotations from Prokofievâ€™s Piano Sonata Op. 83 and Stockhausenâ€™s ZeitmaÃŸe is: â€œAlle WahrvÃ¶gel nisten in einem einzigen Baumâ€ [All true birds nest in a single tree].
