| Trojahn Manfred - Iv. StreichquartettEdition no.: BA 9378 ISMN: 9790006539086 Product format: Score Includes the following individual parts: Violin (2), Viola, Violoncello Binding: Stapled Pages / Format: 43 S. - 32,5 x 25,6 cm A modern sequel to the music of the Romantic era. The first movement hints at the chromatic of “Tristan”; cantilena lines convey a mournful scene. It is succeeded by a brilliant scherzo with the cryptic title “Erste fremde Szene” (First Foreign/Unknown Scene – one is invited to solve this riddle), while the third movement, with its singing quality, is related to the first. The final movement, a “Zweite fremde Szene” (“Second Foreign/Unknown Scene”), alludes to the “last dance” tradition, with its ironic undertones and the copious use of sixths, counterpointed with tarantella rhythms. A rewarding, striking work, equally valuable for concerts combining older compositions with new works as for contemporary music programmes.
