Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Dawn Flight est le titre d'une toile que le graveur et peintre britannique Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) réalisa en 1959. Sa formation scientifique - chimie, géologie - son habileté mathématique furent un atout considérable dans ses recherches de matières et de couleurs, qui peuvent atteindre des tons fluorescents. Hayter, qui fut l'une des premières figures du mouvement surréaliste, s'engagea à New York sur les voies de l'abstraction, aux côtés de Pollock, Rothko, Baziotes, Matta, Motherwell, De Kooning, Riopelle. Il est reconnu comme celui qui a révolutionné les techniques de la gravure au cours du XXe siècle. Il inventa le procédé qui permet d'obtenir plusieurs couleurs sur une même plaque en un seul passage. Rentré en 1950 à Paris, il expérimente de nouvelles techniques de gravure: empreintes, utilisation de l'acide sur le métal et surtout le burin multipointe. Il poursuit une recherche sur l'émergence des formes, sur la transparence, l'interférence, la vibration, les moires. Ses toiles intensifient la couleur, le dynamisme gestuel, et s'attachent sur la fin à capter les jeux de lumière à la surface de l'eau. Dawn Flight est construit sur un éventail d'obliques divergentes, remontant la diagonale, illustrant ainsi le paradoxe d'un flux ascendant, aspiré par le haut. La forme étirée et allongée des stries, la torsion intime de la trame, la tension paradoxale des entrelacs donnent le sentiment d'une réalité élémentaire, de l'aurore d'un monde. La production de Hayter à cette époque - Perseïdes, Poissons volants, Vague, Ixion, Cascade, Mérou, Méduse, Night - montre d'étranges associations de bleu et de noir, d'orange, de jaune transparent, de bleu et de vert. Frank Stella et Donald Judd comptent parmi les artistes qui ont le plus radicalement récusé l'idée d'un procès formateur de l'art, évacuant l'idée même de nécessité intérieure, voire de composition formelle. Transparence, profondeur, épaisseur, rayonnement ne seraient que des catégories factices tirées d'une illusion d'intériorité et l'idée même de progression structurée ne serait que l'effet d'une tyrannie du dedans. Qu'en est-il du quatuor qui fut la construction par excellence de l'intériorité, l'exemple même d'une logique compositionnelle épurée et réduite à la forme essentielle d'un développement ? Ecrire un quatuor après Donald Judd est-il encore possible ? Car il ne suffit pas de se confronter à l'histoire d'un genre, mais à la question de sa possibilité. L'idée même d'un dynamisme des voix a-t-elle encore un sens ? Et celle d'un tout dont les parties sont solidaires ? On n'osera même plus parler de texture, car il s'agit encore d'une forme interne, de l'expression d'une cohérence intérieure. Ecrire un quatuor pourrait signifier le retour à une réflexion sur les formes fondamentales du mouvement - comme l'attraction, la répulsion, l'inclusion ou la pénétration. Ou encore sur ce que signifient des gestes comme briser, couper, déchirer ou fendre. Ce serait aussi revenir sur ce qu'est une interférence de fluctuations, sur la plasticité, ou au contraire la tension désordonnée. A moins de supprimer le quatuor, il faut bien convenir qu'il est à l'image du tissu, d'une continuité ininterrompue, d'un entrelacs de fils et qu'il s'agit de l'oeuvre humaine par excellence: écrire un quatuor c'est renouer le fil. Froisser, tordre, déplier, déployer, dérouler, tels sont les exigences primordiales du quatuor, que l'on dit parfois soyeux ou moiré. Judd et ses contemporains ont rendu caduque l'idée qu'une oeuvre puisse formuler et suivre des règles explicites, assurer la conservation d'une forme dans une certaine série de transformations. Dans cette vue, la pensée musicale serait alors rendue à un état d'instabilité, de glissement perpétuel. Mais elle pourrait alors trouver peut-être de nouveaux schémas de connexion, et attribuer un sens original à l'idée de processus orienté, en lui donnant la forme d'un devenir global et unique, sans répétitions. La musique récente sait susciter l'émergence de propriétés inédites et s'absorber dans la réalité supérieure qu'elle suscite: elle n'est pas tant l'imagination des possibles que l'articulation des moments de l'expérience. Revenir à Hayter, ce serait se concentrer sur une topologie concrète d'intervalles et de liaisons, penser la musique comme flux, modulation, émergence perpétuelle, lumière illocalisable, masse en essor ou tournoiement sans prise. Ce sont là quelques bonnes raisons d'écrire un quatuor. Hugues Dufourt / contemporain / Date parution : 2008-06-24/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

22 fiddle tunes from the golden age of sail, featuring dance tunes, shanties (work songs), recreational 'forebitters' and composed melodies which give the landlubber's take on the romance of the sea. Edward Huws Jones explains that 'during the heyday of sail, the busiest sea-routes of all were the North Atlantic crossings, especially between Liverpool and the American cotton ports- it was the heady mixture of African-American and Irish music which gave birth to the mid-century flowering of the sea shanty. Meanwhile English-speaking vessels were sailing to the Cape, India, Australia and many other far-flung destinations, carrying a two-way traffic of song and dance.? The tunes in this collection can all be played as unaccompanied fiddle tunes, which is how they would have been played in the days of sail. But as in other books in the Fiddler series, the flexible format allows a wide variety of different combinations and ensembles. Suitable for intermediate and elementary standard performers. / Violon

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven completed his String Quartet Op.135 at Wasserdorf Castle in Gneixenhof, where he sought to recuperate with his nephew Karl after the latter?s failed suicide attempt in summer 1826. It stands out among his late quartets owing to the often cheerful, almost pastoral character of its four movements. Since Beethoven?s death it has often been interpreted as an attempt to take wise and positive stock of the mishaps that had befallen him in the preceding years regarding his life situation, family and health. This interpretation is strongly suggested by the final movement, ?Der schwer gefasste Entschluss? (The Difficult Decision), with its motto ?Must it be? It must be! It must be!? The editing of this quartet proved especially complex, for the authentic sources were reworked at various stages by the composer. By judiciously assessing them, editor Jonathan Del Mar has managed to clarify many anomalies found in previous editions. - Beethoven?s final string quartet with many new readings - Introduction by Misha Donat (Eng/Ger), editor?s foreword by Jonathan Del Mar (Eng/Ger) and a scrupulous, separately published Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par MENDONCA VASCO. 'Terrance Hayes? series of sonnets is an extraordinary collection of poems: his poetry captures the spiralling social and political chaos in America (and the world) in a way no newspaper article or scholarly essay has been able to; his words have the rare quality of clarifying a collective feeling that is messy and confusing, an elusive and disturbing combination of fear, hope, perhaps despair. I have never personally experienced (and probably never will) the reality Hayes writes about: the oppression, danger and ambiguity he reflects upon are alien to my own experience. But I nevertheless felt compelled to create something inspired by his words. To engage - how can you not engage? The first movement of ''A Box of Darkness with a Bird in its Heart'' is a hurtful ostinato with an uneven, organic pulse - not unlike the way we breathe under physical or emotional strain. The second is a quiet, delicate birdsong; its very high melody almost a secret that?s unwillingly shared - followed by an expressive lament. The ending in the low register brings me the image of a viola da gamba played outside in a warm summer night, a distant tale of violence and loss. In the final movement the energy picks up, in a relentless and unforgiving mechanism of pizzicati. This piece was written for the wonderful violinist Diana Tishchenko, and is dedicated to her. (Vasco Mendonça)' / Date parution : 2022-04-26/ Répertoire / Violon
