Scored For String Quartet. Commissioned by the New Arts String Quartet, first performed in Tokyo November 1996. Quoting Tanaka: The title Metal Strings suggests speed metal rock music which I have been listening to a lot in recent years. I find an explosive energy in its music that people of today thirst for. Previously I have explored solid, speedy and metallic sound in pieces such as 'Wave Mechanics' (1994), 'Wave Mechanics II' (1994) and 'Metalic Crystal' (1994-95). This idea has been extended and developed in my string quartet, Metal Strings. Score only edition, separate parts are also available on sale.

IApart from some of his Sonatinas, Opus 36, Clementi's life and music are hardly known to the piano teachers and students of today. For example, in addition to the above mentioned Sonatinas, Clementi wrote sixty sonatas for the piano, many of them unjustly neglected, although his friend Beethoven regarded some of them very highly. Clementi also wrote symphonies (some of which he arranged as piano sonatas), a substantial number of waltzes and other dances for the piano as well as sonatas and sonatinas for piano four-hands.In addition to composing, Clementi was a much sought after piano teacher, and included among his students John Field (Father of the 'Nocturne'), and Meyerbeer.In his later years, Clementi became a very successful music publisher, publishing among other works the first English edition of Beethoven's Violin Concerto, in the great composer's own arrangement for the piano, as well as some of his string quartets. Clementi was also one of the first English piano manufacturers to make pianos with a metal frame and string them with wire.The Sonatina in C, Opus 36, No. 1 was one of six such works Clementi wrote in 1797. He must have been partial to these little pieces (for which he also provided the fingerings), since they were reissued (without the fingering) by the composer shortly after 1801. About 1820, he issued ''the sixth edition, with considerable improvements by the author;· with fingerings added and several minor changes, among which were that many of them were written an octave higher.IIIt has often been said, generally by those unhampered by the facts, that composers of the past (and, dare we add, the present?), usually handled their financial affairs with their public and publishers with a poor sense of business acumen or common sense. As a result they frequently found themselves in financial straits.Contrary to popular opinion, this was the exception rather than the rule. With the exception of Mozart and perhaps a few other composers, the majority of composers then, as now, were quite successful in their dealings with the public and their publishers, as the following examples will show.It was not unusual for 18th- and 19th-century composers to arrange some of their more popular compositions for different combinations of instruments in order to increase their availability to a larger music-playing public. Telemann, in the introduction to his seventy-two cantatas for solo voice and one melody instrument (flute, oboe or violin, with the usual continua) Der Harmonische Gottesdienst, tor example, suggests that if a singer is not available to perform a cantata the voice part could be played by another instrument. And in the introduction to his Six Concertos and Six Suites for flute, violin and continua, he named four different instrumental combinations that could perform these pieces, and actually wrote out the notes for the different possibilities. Bach arranged his violin concertos for keyboard, and Beethoven not only arranged his Piano Sonata in E Major, Opus 14, No. 1 for string quartet, he also transposed it to the key of F. Brahm's well-known Quintet in F Minor for piano and strings was his own arrangement of his earlier sonata for two pianos, also in F Minor.IIIWe come now to Clementi. It is well known that some of his sixty piano sonatas were his own arrangements of some of his lost symphonies, and that some of his rondos for piano four-hands were originally the last movements of his solo sonatas or piano trios.In order to make the first movement of his delightful Sonatina in C, Opus 36, No. 1 accessible to young string players, I have followed the example established by the composer himself by arranging and transposing one of his piano compositions from one medium (the piano) to another. (string instruments). In order to simplify the work for young string players, in the process of adapting it to the new medium it was necessary to transpose it from the original key of C to G, thereby doing away with some of the difficulties they would have encountered in the original key. The first violin and cello parts are similar to the right- and left-hand parts of the original piano version. The few changes I have made in these parts have been for the convenience of the string players, but in no way do they change the nature of the music.Since the original implied a harmonic framework in many places, I have added a second violin and viola part in such a way that they not only have interesting music to play, but also fill in some of the implied harmony without in any way detracting from the composition's musical value. Occasionally, it has been necessary to raise or lower a few passages an octave or to modify others slightly to make them more accessible for young players.It is hoped that the musical value of the composition has not been too compromised, and that students and teachers will come to enjoy this little piece in its new setting as much as pianists have in the original one. This arrangement may also be performed by a solo string quartet. When performed by a string orchestra, the double bass part may be omitted.- Douglas TownsendString editing by Amy Rosen.

The work, which the composer counts among her favourite pieces, was inspired by the life and work of Marguerite Duras. In her play of the same name, a Flemish woman goes to Saigon at the beginning of the 20th century, marries a civil servant and has two children.After her husband's death, she also works as a piano player at the local 'Eden Cinema'. Eden Cinema, which is 'to be played like a traditional piano piece from the Romantic period' according to the composer, sounds poetic, but also cool, funny and extremely modern. Motif repetitions and ostinatos play a major role, as they do with Duras. In addition, quotations appear, literal ones from Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata as well as vague echoes of dance rhythms and commonplace music as used in silent film theatres. Thepreparation of the piano strings - metal parts on the high ones, rubber pieces on the low ones - creates a tonal patina and the impression of the past - 'in connection with Duras also recognizable as traumas sedimented in the subconscious, whose indistinct traces obsessively push to the surface' (Eckhard Weber).

Listen to Scandinavia er et samarbejdsprojekt mellem tre nordiske konservatorielærere, Brita Bremberg (Stockholm), Gro Shetelig Kruse (Oslo) og Mette Stig Nielsen (Odense), som underviser i hørelære,auditiv analyse og musikpædagogik.
Den nordiske musik fører i al almindelighed et usynligt og uhørligt liv i musikundervisningen - såvel i lærebøgerne som i klasseværelserne.Endvidere mangler der pædagogiske værktøjer og metoder til undervisning i partiturmusik fra det 20. århundrede, næsten al klassisk musikpædagogik er bygget op omkring vesteuropæiskmusikfra 1700- og 1800-tallet.
I denne bog har vi derfor udarbejdet et undervisningsmateriale, der kan bruges på gymnasier, seminarier, MGK- kurser, musikkonservatorier, universiteter og andre steder, hvor derundervises i musik, musikteori, musikhistorie og musikpædagogik. Vi håber, at den nyere og nye nordiske musik vil blive brugt til intensiv lytning, hørelære, formlære, musikanalyse bl.a. gennem detforeliggende materiale, og at musiklærere og studerende vil kunne blive inspireret af vores spørgsmål i opgaverne og vores forskellige ideer til grafisk partitur, fri tegning og improvisation..
Detmusikalske materiale er et rigt udvalg af musik fra Danmark, Norge, Sverige, Finland, Færøerne og Island, og repræsenterer musik fra årene 1900-1919, 1920-1939, 1940-1959, 1960-1979 og 1980-2003.
Det ligger udenfor mulighederne i denne bog at omtale alle de betydningsfulde komponister som de nordiske lande har fostret. Musikeksemplerne er udvalgt, så de tilsammen giver et bredt indtryk af den nordiske musik efterår 1900 og ud fra deres kunstneriske og pædagogiske potentiale.
BOGENS METODEBogen er baseret på den idé, at man ved at lytte mange gange med skiftende fokus på et musikstykke kanudvikle evnen til at.

Brilliant, clever and brimming with excitement, another ingenious Himes masterpiece! The objective of Thingamajig is to create a whimsical contraption of sound in the same spirit as the late Rube Goldberg, which appeared as cartoons in the New York Evening Mail. It uses melodic and rhythmic patterns - with help of conventional and unconventional percussion as well as verbal effects from the band members - to convey a unique attempt at inventiveness. The enthused percussion section will use instruments such as a metal pipe, kitchen pans and a bicycle horn.

We have travelled very far to record this last DVD of the Lachenmann Perspectives: In March 2015, the rehearsals of Kontrakadenz [Contra Cadence] took place in the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, under the direction of Lothar Zagrosek. Sectional rehearsals had already familiarized musicians of the Orquestra Sinfonica do Porto with the most important playing techniques. Together with Helmut Lachenmann, these were then further consolidated, specific noise sounds with, for instance, table tennis balls, spinning metal discs, and water-filled zinc tubs were thoroughly elaborated. For SCHREIBEN [Writing], we then followed Lachenmann to San Sebastian in February 2016. There, with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Musikene under the direction of Arturo Tamayo, we had in front of the camera a student orchestra, motivated, though still not experienced with the music of Lachenmann. What the composer also explains in the interview, becomes very clear in the rehearsals: how the starting point of the piece, the idea of writing, is picked up and implemented for each instrument individually. The rehearsals of both pieces were predominantly in English - so the films are mostly without subtitles. (Wiebke Popel)In 2015/16 I travelled across Europe with cameraman Michael Zimmer to document a total of nine orchestral rehearsals of and with [meaning rehearsals of music by HL, conducted by HL? OR?] Helmut Lachenmann in the course of Lachenmann Perspectives, a project of the Musik der Jahrhunderte. This DVD series is the filmic result of these journeys.
