This title
is taken from Dvorak.
However. The models from
which the songs are
derived are clearly
identifiable, as are the
composers from whose
language they have been
derived. The piece
appears to be in one
movement though it is in
fact two with a coda. The
first is French in style,
a sort of Waltz. It is
quick and harks upon the
likes of Francaix and
where its idiom becomes
more advanced, Messaien.
The other is Germanic, a
slow movement with echoes
of German expressionism -
perhaps Richard Strauss,
perhaps Mahler. The two
movements are partly
complete; the cod
reconciles their
differences and completes
them. I see the piece as
my own version of En
blanc et noir.
