Introduction Gustave Vogt's Musical Paris Gustave Vogt (1781-1870) was born into the Age of Enlightenment, at the apex of the Enlightenment's outreach. During his lifetime he would observe its effect on the world. Over the course of his life he lived through many changes in musical style. When he was born, composers such as Mozart and Haydn were still writing masterworks revered today, and eighty-nine years later, as he departed the world, the new realm of Romanticism was beginning to emerge with Mahler, Richard Strauss and Debussy, who were soon to make their respective marks on the musical world. Vogt himself left a huge mark on the musical world, with critics referring to him as the grandfather of the modern oboe and the premier oboist of Europe. Through his eighty-nine years, Vogt would live through what was perhaps the most turbulent period of French history. He witnessed the French Revolution of 1789, followed by the many newly established governments, only to die just months before the establishment of the Third Republic in 1870, which would be the longest lasting government since the beginning of the revolution. He also witnessed the transformation of the French musical world from one in which opera reigned supreme, to one in which virtuosi, chamber music, and symphonic music ruled. Additionally, he experienced the development of the oboe right before his eyes. When he began playing in the late eighteenth century, the standard oboe had two keys (E and Eb) and at the time of his death in 1870, the System Six Triebert oboe (the instrument adopted by Conservatoire professor, Georges Gillet, in 1882) was only five years from being developed. Vogt was born March 18, 1781 in the ancient town of Strasbourg, part of the Alsace region along the German border. At the time of his birth, Strasbourg had been annexed by Louis XIV, and while heavily influenced by Germanic culture, had been loosely governed by the French for a hundred years. Although it is unclear when Vogt began studying the oboe and when his family made its move to the French capital, the Vogts may have fled Strasbourg in 1792 after much of the city was destroyed during the French Revolution. He was without question living in Paris by 1798, as he enrolled on June 8 at the newly established Conservatoire national de Musique to study oboe with the school's first oboe professor, Alexandre-Antoine Sallantin (1775-1830). Vogt's relationship with the Conservatoire would span over half a century, moving seamlessly from the role of student to professor. In 1799, just a year after enrolling, he was awarded the premier prix, becoming the fourth oboist to achieve this award. By 1802 he had been appointed repetiteur, which involved teaching the younger students and filling in for Sallantin in exchange for a free education. He maintained this rank until 1809, when he was promoted to professor adjoint and finally to professor titulaire in 1816 when Sallantin retired. This was a position he held for thirty-seven years, retiring in 1853, making him the longest serving oboe professor in the school's history. During his tenure, he became the most influential oboist in France, teaching eighty-nine students, plus sixteen he taught while he was professor adjoint and professor titulaire. Many of these students went on to be famous in their own right, such as Henri Brod (1799-1839), Apollon Marie-Rose Barret (1804-1879), Charles Triebert (1810-1867), Stanislas Verroust (1814-1863), and Charles Colin (1832-1881). His influence stretches from French to American oboe playing in a direct line from Charles Colin to Georges Gillet (1854-1920), and then to Marcel Tabuteau (1887-1966), the oboist Americans lovingly describe as the father of American oboe playing. Opera was an important part of Vogt's life. His first performing position was with the Theatre-Montansier while he was still studying at the Conservatoire. Shortly after, he moved to the Ambigu-Comique and, in 1801 was appointed as first oboist with the Theatre-Italien in Paris. He had been in this position for only a year, when he began playing first oboe at the Opera-Comique. He remained there until 1814, when he succeeded his teacher, Alexandre-Antoine Sallantin, as soloist with the Paris Opera, the top orchestra in Paris at the time. He played with the Paris Opera until 1834, all the while bringing in his current and past students to fill out the section. In this position, he began to make a name for himself; so much so that specific performances were immortalized in memoirs and letters. One comes from a young Hector Berlioz (1803-1865) after having just arrived in Paris in 1822 and attended the Paris Opera's performance of Mehul's Stratonice and Persuis' ballet Nina. It was in response to the song Quand le bien-amie reviendra that Berlioz wrote: I find it difficult to believe that that song as sung by her could ever have made as true and touching an effect as the combination of Vogt's instrument... Shortly after this, Berlioz gave up studying medicine and focused on music. Vogt frequently made solo and chamber appearances throughout Europe. His busiest period of solo work was during the 1820s. In 1825 and 1828 he went to London to perform as a soloist with the London Philharmonic Society. Vogt also traveled to Northern France in 1826 for concerts, and then in 1830 traveled to Munich and Stuttgart, visiting his hometown of Strasbourg on the way. While on tour, Vogt performed Luigi Cherubini's (1760-1842) Ave Maria, with soprano Anna (Nanette) Schechner (1806-1860), and a Concertino, presumably written by himself. As a virtuoso performer in pursuit of repertoire to play, Vogt found himself writing much of his own music. His catalog includes chamber music, variation sets, vocal music, concerted works, religious music, wind band arrangements, and pedagogical material. He most frequently performed his variation sets, which were largely based on themes from popular operas he had, presumably played while he was at the Opera. He made his final tour in 1839, traveling to Tours and Bordeaux. During this tour he appeared with the singer Caroline Naldi, Countess de Sparre, and the violinist Joseph Artot (1815-1845). This ended his active career as a soloist. His performance was described in the Revue et gazette musicale de Paris as having lost none of his superiority over the oboe.... It's always the same grace, the same sweetness. We made a trip to Switzerland, just by closing your eyes and listening to Vogt's oboe. Vogt was also active performing in Paris as a chamber and orchestral musician. He was one of the founding members of the Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire, a group established in 1828 by violinist and conductor Francois-Antoine Habeneck (1781-1849). The group featured faculty and students performing alongside each other and works such as Beethoven symphonies, which had never been heard in France. He also premiered the groundbreaking woodwind quintets of Antonin Reicha (1770-1836). After his retirement from the Opera in 1834 and from the Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1842, Vogt began to slow down. His final known performance was of Cherubini's Ave Maria on English horn with tenor Alexis Dupont (1796-1874) in 1843. He then began to reflect on his life and the people he had known. When he reached his 60s, he began gathering entries for his Musical Album of Autographs. Autograph Albums Vogt's Musical Album of Autographs is part of a larger practice of keeping autograph albums, also commonly known as Stammbuch or Album Amicorum (meaning book of friendship or friendship book), which date back to the time of the Reformation and the University of Wittenberg. It was during the mid-sixteenth century that students at the University of Wittenberg began passing around bibles for their fellow students and professors to sign, leaving messages to remember them by as they moved on to the next part of their lives. The things people wrote were mottos, quotes, and even drawings of their family coat of arms or some other scene that meant something to the owner. These albums became the way these young students remembered their school family once they had moved on to another school or town. It was also common for the entrants to comment on other entries and for the owner to amend entries when they learned of important life details such as marriage or death. As the practice continued, bibles were set aside for emblem books, which was a popular book genre that featured allegorical illustrations (emblems) in a tripartite form: image, motto, epigram. The first emblem book used for autographs was published in 1531 by Andrea Alciato (1492-1550), a collection of 212 Latin emblem poems. In 1558, the first book conceived for the purpose of the album amicorum was published by Lyon de Tournes (1504-1564) called the Thesaurus Amicorum. These books continued to evolve, and spread to wider circles away from universities. Albums could be found being kept by noblemen, physicians, lawyers, teachers, painters, musicians, and artisans. The albums eventually became more specialized, leading to Musical Autograph Albums (or Notestammbucher). Before this specialization, musicians contributed in one form or another, but our knowledge of them in these albums is mostly limited to individual people or events. Some would simply sign their name while others would insert a fragment of music, usually a canon (titled fuga) with text in Latin. Canons were popular because they displayed the craftsmanship of the composer in a limited space. Composers well-known today, including J. S. Bach, Telemann, Mozart, Beethoven, Dowland, and Brahms, all participated in the practice, with Beethoven being the first to indicate an interest in creating an album only of music. This interest came around 1815. In an 1845 letter from Johann Friedrich Naue to Heinrich Carl Breidenstein, Naue recalled an 1813 visit with Beethoven, who presented a book suggesting Naue to collect entries from celebrated musicians as he traveled. Shortly after we find Louis Spohr speaking about leaving on his grand tour through Europe in 1815 and of his desire to carry an album with entries from the many artists he would come across. He wrote in his autobiography that his most valuable contribution came from Beethoven in 1815. Spohr's Notenstammbuch, comprised only of musical entries, is groundbreaking because it was coupled with a concert tour, allowing him to reach beyond the Germanic world, where the creation of these books had been nearly exclusive. Spohr brought the practice of Notenstammbucher to France, and in turn indirectly inspired Vogt to create a book of his own some fifteen years later. Vogt's Musical Album of Autographs Vogt's Musical Album of Autographs acts as a form of a memoir, displaying mementos of musicians who held special meaning in his life as well as showing those with whom he was enamored from the younger generation. The anonymous Pie Jesu submitted to Vogt in 1831 marks the beginning of an album that would span nearly three decades by the time the final entry, an excerpt from Charles Gounod's (1818-1893) Faust, which premiered in 1859, was submitted. Within this album we find sixty-two entries from musicians whom he must have known very well because they were colleagues at the Conservatoire, or composers of opera whose works he was performing with the Paris Opera. Other entries came from performers with whom he had performed and some who were simply passing through Paris, such as Joseph Joachim (1831-1907). Of the sixty-three total entries, some are original, unpublished works, while others came from well-known existing works. Nineteen of these works are for solo piano, sixteen utilize the oboe or English horn, thirteen feature the voice (in many different combinations, including vocal solos with piano, and small choral settings up to one with double choir), two feature violin as a solo instrument, and one even features the now obscure ophicleide. The connections among the sixty-two contributors to Vogt's album are virtually never-ending. All were acquainted with Vogt in some capacity, from long-time friendships to relationships that were created when Vogt requested their entry. Thus, while Vogt is the person who is central to each of these musicians, the web can be greatly expanded. In general, the connections are centered around the Conservatoire, teacher lineages, the Opera, and performing circles. The relationships between all the contributors in the album parallel the current musical world, as many of these kinds of relationships still exist, and permit us to fantasize who might be found in an album created today by a musician of the same standing. Also important, is what sort of entries the contributors chose to pen. The sixty-three entries are varied, but can be divided into published and unpublished works. Within the published works, we find opera excerpts, symphony excerpts, mass excerpts, and canons, while the unpublished works include music for solo piano, oboe or English horn, string instruments (violin and cello), and voice (voice with piano and choral). The music for oboe and English horn works largely belong in the unpublished works of the album. These entries were most likely written to honor Vogt. Seven are for oboe and piano and were contributed by Joseph Joachim, Pauline Garcia Viardot (1821-1910), Joseph Artot, Anton Bohrer (1783-1852), Georges Onslow (1784-1853), Desire Beaulieu (1791-1863), and Narcisse Girard (1797-1860). The common thread between these entries is the simplicity of the melody and structure. Many are repetitive, especially Beaulieu's entry, which features a two-note ostinato throughout the work, which he even included in his signature. Two composers contributed pieces for English horn and piano, and like the previous oboe entries, are simple and repetitive. These were written by Michele Carafa (1787-1872) and Louis Clapisson (1808-1866). There are two other entries that were unpublished works and are chamber music. One is an oboe trio by Jacques Halevy (1799-1862) and the other is for oboe and strings (string trio) by J. B. Cramer (1771-1858). There are five published works in the album for oboe and English horn. There are three from operas and the other two from symphonic works. Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896) contributed an excerpt from the Entr'acte of his opera La Guerillero, and was likely chosen because the oboe was featured at this moment. Hippolyte Chelard (1789-1861) also chose to honor Vogt by writing for English horn. His entry, for English horn and piano, is taken from his biggest success, Macbeth. The English horn part was actually taken from Lady Macbeth's solo in the sleepwalking scene. Vogt's own entry also falls into this category, as he entered an excerpt from Donizetti's Maria di Rohan. The excerpt he chose is a duet between soprano and English horn. There are two entries featuring oboe that are excerpted from symphonic repertoire. One is a familiar oboe melody from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony entered by his first biographer, Anton Schindler (1796-1864). The other is an excerpt from Berlioz's choral symphony, Romeo et Juliette. He entered an oboe solo from the Grand Fete section of the piece. Pedagogical benefit All of these works are lovely, and fit within the album wonderfully, but these works also are great oboe and English horn music for young students. The common thread between these entries is the simplicity of the melody and structure. Many are repetitive, especially Beaulieu's entry, which features a two-note ostinato throughout the work in the piano. This repetitive structure is beneficial for young students for searching for a short solo to present at a studio recital, or simply to learn. They also work many technical issues a young player may encounter, such as mastering the rolling finger to uncover and recover the half hole. This is true of Bealieu's Pensee as well as Onslow's Andantino. Berlioz's entry from Romeo et Juliette features very long phrases, which helps with endurance and helps keep the air spinning through the oboe. Some of the pieces also use various levels of ornamentation, from trills to grace notes, and short cadenzas. This allows the student to learn appropriate ways to phrase with these added notes. The chamber music is a valuable way to start younger students with chamber music, especially the short quartet by Cramer for oboe and string trio. All of these pieces will not tax the student to learn a work that is more advanced, as well as give them a full piece that they can work on from beginning to end in a couple weeks, instead of months. Editorial Policy The works found in this edition are based on the manuscript housed at the Morgan Library in New York City (call number Cary 348, V886. A3). When possible, published scores were consulted and compared to clarify pitch and text. The general difficulties in creating an edition of these works stem from entries that appear to be hastily written, and thus omit complete articulations and dynamic indications for all passages and parts. The manuscript has been modernized into a performance edition. The score order from the manuscript has been retained. If an entry also exists in a published work, and this was not indicated on the manuscript, appropriate titles and subtitles have been added tacitly. For entries that were untitled, the beginning tempo marking or expressive directive has been added as its title tacitly. Part names have been changed from the original language to English. If no part name was present, it was added tacitly. All scores are transposing where applicable. Measure numbers have been added at the beginning of every system. Written directives have been retained in the original language and are placed relative to where they appear in the manuscript. Tempo markings from the manuscript have been retained, even if they were abbreviated, i.e., Andte. The barlines, braces, brackets, and clefs are modernized. The beaming and stem direction has been modernized. Key signatures have been modernized as some of the flats/sharps do not appear on the correct lines or spaces. Time signatures have been modernized. In a few cases, when a time signature was missing in the manuscript, it has been added tacitly. Triplet and rhythmic groupings have been modernized. Slurs, ties, and articulations (staccato and accent) have been modernized. Slurs, ties, and articulations have been added to parallel passages tacitly. Courtesy accidentals found in the manuscript have been removed, unless it appeared to be helpful to the performer. Dynamic indications from the manuscript have been retained, except where noted. --Kristin Leitterman.IntroductionGustave Vogt’s Musical ParisGustave Vogt (1781–1870) was born into the “Age of Enlightenment,†at the apex of the Enlightenment’s outreach.

Vielleicht so etwas wie ein ,,Parergon zu meiner Madchen-Oper Zwei Klangquellen - unter ambivalenten Aspekten zugleich homogen und heterogen, nicht so ohne weiteres zusammenpassend: - Posaune und Flote/Bassflote - (mit Resonanzen aus zwei Konzertflugeln), 8 Mannerstimmen - alle erzeugen Tone, und Luft, Zweiklange, Vibrationen, Schwebungen, Rattern, Konsonanzen. Und rattern und sprechen - und japsen, Orchester mit 4 Oboen, 3 Floten, 3 Klarinetten, zwei Kontrafagotten (unterbeschaftigt), 4 Horner, drei Trompeten, keinen Posaunen, 2 Tuben, die in der Tiefe rappeln, zwei Klavieren, Gitarre-Harfe, Streicher (,,Perforateure), 3 Schlagzeuger, rappeln (Fellwirbel), - und schwingen China-Becken durch die Luft, dampfen aus und vorzeitig ab (,,japsen) und: halten aus. Musik zum Aushalten, ist nicht zum Aushalten. Ein Orchester mit vielen Unisono-Quellen Es ist immer wieder auf andere Weise - jedes Mal das gleiche: Musik, nicht als Text, nicht als diskursiver Verlauf, gar als klingendes Drama, - eher eine Art kunstliches und als Produkt einer komplexen Spekulation zugleich transzendentes Natur-Schauspiel, als ,,reine Prasenz - (Das sind allerdings Wort-Hulsen, die schlecht an das erinnern, was sie nicht mehr zu nennen, zu fassen wagen bzw. imstande sind. Begriffe, die es abzurufen und zugleich im Blick auf die Sache selbst auszustreichen gilt.): Sie zu beschworen, ohne dabei in schlecht besinnliche ,,meditative Idyllen, bzw. idyllische Standards zu verfallen, gehort zu meinen zentralen Utopien - Ihre Wunschbarkeit/Stringenz/existentielle Notwendigkeit, ,,Wahrheit ist hienieden nicht zu trennen von ihrer Unmoglichkeit, wegen der Standardisiertheit aller Mittel, auf der ihre Verwirklichung, ihre Anpeilung, ihre Ins-Werk-Setzung verwiesen ist. Aber: alles soll/wird in dieser wie auch immer vermittelten Prasenz beruhrt, erlost, befreit sein. Kann man Erfahrungen, deren Unmoglichkeit, deren Verschuttetheit man sich bewusst macht, vermitteln durch den Kampf gegen diese Unmoglichkeiten, Verschuttetheiten (= Unfreiheiten)??? Wer bin ich? Was ist das: das ich, das solche Suche, solches Abenteuer, solchen Kampf gegen die Materie auf sich nimmt?? Das ,,Ich ist kein Ding, sondern ein Ort (Kitaro Nishida - aber ich bin kein Buddhist, und auch kein Zen-Monch, sondern ein Anfanger in allem, auch im Komponieren des jeweilig konzipierten Stucks.) Das Wasser wascht das Wasser nicht - das Feuer verbrennt das Feuer nicht - der Schmerz selbst tut nicht weh. Der Genuss geniesst nicht. Das Horen hort nicht, das Leben lebt nicht - und so lebt es. Das Ich ist nicht das ich. Musik ist nicht Musik, ist Nicht-Musik: die einzige Musik, die den Namen in seiner emphatischen Bedeutung verdient. Musik sei Nicht Musik?? Sondern?? Ja - sondern. Komponieren heisst: sondern. Utopien kompositorisch zu beschworen, bedeutete fur meinen Mechanismus stets: ihre Verschuttetheit. Und das was - nicht zufallig - sie verschuttet hat. Oder zu verschutten droht, in den Griff zu nehmen.Helmut Lachenmann (Skizze)Mitten in meiner Oper Das Madchen mit den Schwefelholzern - nach Hans Christian Andersen -, die im winterlichen eiskalten Kopenhagen spielt, gibt es einen Sprung in die mediterrane Vulkanlandschaft Suditaliens, wo - nach einem Text von Leonardo Da Vinci - ,,die Schwefelfeuer den grossen Berg offnen, um Steine und Erde samt den heraustretenden und herausgespieenen Flammen durch die Luft zu schleudern, und im Ausbruch ,,jedes Hindernis verjagen, das sich ihrem ungestumen Wuten entgegenstellt. Leonardo sieht in diesem Naturvorgang eine Metapher fur die Unruhe des menschlichen Herzens bei der Suche nach Erkenntnis. Er beschreibt eine Wanderung durch die schattigen Klippen hindurch bis vor den Eingang einer grossen Hohle, vor welcher der Erzahlende ,,im Gefuhl der Unwissenheit eine Zeitlang verharrt: ,,Ich hockte mit gekrummtem Rucken, die mude Hand aufs Knie gestutzt, beschattete ich mit der Rechten die gesenkten und geschlossenen Wimpern: - und n u n -, da ich mich mehrmals hin und her beugte, um in die Hohle hineinzublicken, verbot mir das die grosse Dunkelheit, die darin herrschte. Als ich aber eine Zeitlang verharrt hatte, erwachten in mir zwei Gefuhle: Furcht und Verlangen - Furcht vor der drohenden Dunkelheit der Hohle, Verlangen aber, mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, was an Wunderbarem darin sein mochte. Diesem ,,n u n ist meine Komposition gewidmet: Sie - ahnlich wie auf andere Weise mein Klavierkonzert Ausklang - ist sozusagen ,,meine Alpensymphonie. Anders als bei Strauss allerdings beschwort sie Energien und Eruptionen in einer Klanglandschaft weitab von jeglicher musiksprachlichen Geborgenheit. Wahrend im Strauss'schen Meisterwerk der Wanderer aus stimmungsvollem b-moll-Morgennebel aufbricht - allerdings erst den in A-Dur strahlenden Sonnenaufgang abwartet ... - und in frohlichem Es-Dur lossturmend auf tonal gesicherten Wegen zum majestatischen C-dur-Gipfel glucklich hinaufgelangt - den er allerdings bei hereinbrechendem Unwetter eilends verlasst, um ins schutzende Tal hinabzufluchten -, verharrt der Wanderer Leonardos in NUN in unwirtlicher Hohe vor jener Furcht und Verlangen erregenden Hohle. Meine Musik, sozusagen als brodelnder Krater beginnend, verwandelt sich in eine Sequenz von Rufen, deren Widerhall die ,,drohende Finsternis zu durchdringen und auszuloten versucht, und sie mundet - auf dem Umweg uber eine Art ,,Tanz auf dem Vulkan der beiden Solo-Instrumente - in eine instrumental paraphrasierte Sprech-Landschaft, als ob das Zischen und Fauchen, nichts weiter wiedergabe als die erweiterten Konsonanten eines gesprochenen imaginaren Textes. Dieser schliesslich - als Botschaft des im Ungeborgenen nach Erkenntnis Suchenden - konkretisiert sich zu jenem abgrundigen Satz des japanischen Philosophen und Grunders der ,,Kyoto-Schule, Kitaro Nishida: ,,Das Ich ist kein Ding, sondern ein Ort. Die Beziehung meines Werks zur Strauss'schen Alpensymphonie - der Komponist wollte sie ursprunglich nennen ,,der Antichrist - ist in ihrer antipodischen Gegensatzlichkeit evident. Es ist eine machtvolle, letztlich aber gutige, dem Menschen zugewandte, idyllische Natur, die bei Strauss beschworen wird, und den nachtlich in die hausliche Behaglichkeit Heimkehrenden erfullt Ehrfurcht und Dankbarkeit: es ist ein ,,glaubiger Antichrist, und die Pastorale Beethovens lasst grussen. Wie alles von Strauss war es ein - s e i n - letzter (oder vorletzter ...) Blick auf ein zerfallendes Paradies (1915 geschrieben ...). Heute ist vielleicht jedes Werk, welches sich den innovativen Anspruch von musikalischer Tradition zu Eigen gemacht hat und im 21. Jahrhundert den Musikbegriff jenseits tonaler Sprachvertrautheit in ungesichertem Klang-Terrain neu zu bestimmen sucht - eine Art Bergbesteigung in weglosem Gelande, und wenn schon nicht eine ,,Alpensymphonie, so doch eine Gratwanderung: abenteuerlich - verlockend - nicht ungefahrlich: ,,non hay caminos ....

Meine eigene neue Orchesterkomposition hat den Titel ,,SCHREIBEN. Die praktische Aktion des Schreibens, als mechanisches Einwirken per Hand, Stift, Pinsel, auf eine Flache (Papier, Pergament, Stein etc.), ausgelost und gesteuert von einem kommunikativen Bedurfnis und, bei aller Spontaneitat, beherrscht durch die Regeln von Schrift und Sprache, ist fur mich einer der geheimnisvollsten Vorgange im zwischenmenschlichen Alltag, bei dem menschlicher Geist und tote Materie einander begegnen: Gedanken bzw. Gedachtes werden auf einer Flache - Papier, Pergament, Stein - festgehalten, ihr sozusagen anvertraut. Und auf diesem Umweg uber Sprache, Schrift und Gravur begegnen sie dem Geist des lesenden oder entziffernden Mitmenschen. Als Komponist aber frage ich: gibt es auch einen anderen Kausalitatszusammenhang, gibt es z. B. ein ,,autonomes Schreiben, eine sinn-freie Zeichengebung, durch entfesselte, losgelassene Fortbewegung der schreibenden Hand, wo der Schreibende seinem eigenen Schreiben nur noch staunend zusieht? Werden nicht in Japan Bilder, auch ,,abstrakte, geschrieben??? (In einem Underground-Film der 70er-Jahre uber den jungen Mozart sieht sich der Zuschauer versetzt in ein Zimmer eines italienischen Gasthauses, in dem der junge durchreisende Mozart am Tisch eilig die Rezitative einer seiner italienischen Opern zu Papier bringt. Mehr als eine Viertelstunde lang sind wir dabei, horen nicht die entstehende Musik, sondern das nervose Kratzen der Feder auf dem groben Notenpapier in nachmittaglicher Stille - nur der gleichmassige Pendelschlag der Wanduhr ist noch zu horen -, und wir erleben diese sekundare Klangwelt kaum weniger intensiv als nachher andere Horer die dabei stumm entstehende Musik.) Das Orchester in meinem Stuck ,,schreibt. Es fugt Strich zu Strich, versteht sich selbst als eine Art vielfaltiges ,,Schreib-Gerat. Wir als Horer lesen nicht das ,,Geschriebene, aber wir horen den Vorgang des Schreibens, den Bogenstrich, die Bewegung des scharrenden Holzstabs auf Fell oder Tamtam, und wir beobachten dessen Imitation bzw. Transformation durch - zeitweise auch tonlos - sich zu linearen Gestalten verbindende Blasinstrumente als eine Art klingender Schreib-Zeremonie. Es ergibt sich eine Musik, die gelegentlich ihren gedanklichen Ausgangspunkt vergisst und sich als autonome Klang-Situation fortentwickelt und verwandelt, und die schliesslich im hochsten Register eine Art ,,Kantilene be-schreibt. Wer das deutsche Wort ,,Schreiben (engl. ,,to write) schreibt, der schreibt dabei auch unweigerlich das Wort ,,Schrei (engl. ,,shout), und er schreibt auch das Wort ,,reiben (engl. ,,to rub). So emotional der erste Begriff gedacht werden kann, so nuchtern-praktisch ist der zweite. Von beiden Aspekten, samt ihrer Gegensatzlichkeit, ist mein Stuck gepragt.

This work for flute trio is in no way connected to the famous work of the same name by Antonio Vivaldi. In his Four Seasons, Mario Valsania sees the changing seasons from a child's point of view: Spring, out in the fresh air on abike ride, the unhurried Summer, Autumn and the new school year, and finally Winter, with its Christmas celebrations...This is a composition in a classical style but with advanced, non-traditional harmonies. The composer's aim was to bring out the full richness of the flute's range and character - such as staccato and double-tonguing. InWinter, various traditional Christmas carols can be heard.Dit werk voor fluittrio heeft op geen enkele manier te maken met het beroemde gelijknamige werk van Antonio Vivaldi. In zijn Four Seasons kijkt Mario Valsania naar de wisselende seizoenen vanuit het perspectief van een kind: in de lente kun jelekker naar buiten om te fietsen in de frisse lucht; de zomer is een zorgeloze periode; de herfst staat voor de start van het nieuwe schooljaar; en tot slot is er de winter, waarin onder meer het kerstfeest wordt gevierd...
Deze compositie is in klassieke stijl geschreven, maar met gebruik van vooruitstrevende, niet-traditionele harmonieën. De componist is erin geslaagd om de rijke, karakteristieke klank over het volledige register van de fluit te benutten - metmiddelen als staccato en dubbele tongslag. In het gedeelte Winter zijn enkele traditionele kerstliederen te herkennen.Dieses Werk für Flötentrio verweist in keiner Weise auf das berühmte gleichnamige Werk von Antonio Vivaldi. In seinen Vier Jahreszeiten versucht Mario Valsania nachzuspüren, wie ein Kind die wechselnden Jahreszeiten erlebt: denFrühling, den man am liebsten an der frischen Luft und auf dem Fahrrad verbringt, den Sommer als sorglose Periode, den Herbst als Zeit des Schuljahresbeginns, und schließlich den Winter, in den Weihnachten und andere Festefallen...Die im klassischen Stil gehaltene Komposition weist eine erweiterte, nicht traditionelle Harmonik auf. Der Komponist versuchte, den gesamten Tonumfang und charakteristische Aspekte der Flöte, wie staccato und Doppelzunge, auszunutzen. ImWinter werden einige traditionelle Weihnachtslieder zitiert.Cette composition pour trio de fl tes traversiéres ne fait aucunement référence la célébre à âuvre de Vivaldi. Dans ses Four Seasons (Quatre saisons), Mario Valsania égréne le changement des saisons, vécu par unenfant : le printemps, synonyme dair frais, de liberté et de courses vélo, lété qui se vit avec un soupçon d'insouciance, lautomne qui signifie la rentrée scolaire, et finalement l'hiver, le temps des festivités de Noël.
Il sagit dune piéce composée dans un style classique présentant toutefois des harmonies et des accents surprenants. Lobjectif du compositeur était de faire ressortir toute la richesse de la fl te traversiére par des traitscaractéristiques tels que le staccato ou le double coup de langue. Dans le quatriéme mouvement, Winter, plusieurs chants de Noël traditionnels peuvent être entendus.Questa pubblicazione per trio di flauti non é in collegata alla celebre opera omonima di Antonio Vivaldi. Nelle sue Four Seasons, Mario Valsania cerca di ricreare in musica la sensazione che un bambino può provare al passaggio dellestagioni: la Primavera, laria fresca e un i giri in bicicletta, lEstate come periodo spensierato, lAutunno con l'inizio della scuola e, infine, l Inverno con il Natale e le feste in famiglia.

On a war memorial in the Dutch village of Wons is engraved a list of names to honour the fallen in World War II. This is the basis for the name of this piece. However, this composition was written for everyone who has made Wons what it is today: a pretty place near to Lake IJssel with a comfortable way of life. The piece begins with a celebratory introduction in which the village is presented to the listener. There follows a delightful rhythmic and high-tempo theme that reflects the happiness, innocence and carefree atmosphere before the war. Now we hear a moody, fragmented theme depicting soldiers shooting. This is brought to a close with dissonant clusters of sound,intoning the dreadful tragedy of the war. The ensuing quiet gives way to a calm middle section in a minor key that portrays both frustration and consolation. The fast tempo of the beginning returns, this time in the form of a victory march. We hear freedom being celebrated. We hear the previous happy, innocent and carefree themes, too. There follows a festive, martial theme, a tribute to the village, before the piece closes with sounds of celebration. Op de gedenksteen in het Friese dorp Wons staat een erelijst (roll of honour) gegraveerd ter nagedachtenis aan de gevallenen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De titel van dit werk verwijst naar deze lijst. Deze compositie is echter tevens geschreven voor alle mensen die Wons hebben gemaakt tot wat het nu is: een prachtig dorpje vlak bij het IJsselmeer waar het prettig toeven is. De compositie begint met een statige inleiding, waarin het dorp zich presenteert aan de luisteraar. Dan klinkt een aansprekend ritmisch thema in een snel tempo dat de vrolijkheid, onbevangenheid en onbezorgdheid van voor de oorlog uitstraalt. Dit gaat over in een melodie in mineur, die het naderendeoorlogsgevaar aankondigt. Dan is er een grillig thema met stops waarin het schieten van de soldaten te horen is. Dit eindigt in enkele dissonante clusters die het tragische dieptepunt van de oorlog accentueren. De daaropvolgende stilte lost op in een gedragen middendeel in mineur waaruit enerzijds verdriet en anderzijds troost spreekt. Dan komt het snelle tempo van het begin weer terug, ditmaal in de vorm van een vreugdemars. De vrijheid wordt gevierd. Ook het thema van de vrolijkheid, onbevangenheid en onbezorgdheid is weer te horen. Er volgt nu een statig martiaal thema, een eerbetoon aan het dorp, waarna het werk wordt afgesloten met feestelijke klanken. Auf einem Gedenkstein im niederländischen Dorf Wons ist eine Namensliste zu Ehren der Gefallenen im Zweiten Weltkrieg eingraviert. Auf diese bezieht sich der Titel des Werkes, der wörtlich übersetzt ‘Ehrenliste’ bedeutet. Diese Komposition wurde jedoch für alle Menschen geschrieben, die Wons zu dem gemacht haben, was es heute ist: ein schöner Ort nahe des IJsselmeeres, in dem es sich gut leben lässt. Das Werk beginnt mit einer feierlichen Einleitung, in welcher sich das Dorf dem Zuhörer präsentiert. Dann erklingt ein reizvolles rhythmisches und temporeiches Thema, das die Fröhlichkeit, Unbefangenheit und Sorglosigkeit vor dem Krieg ausstrahlt. Dieses geht in eine Moll-Melodieüber, welche von der nahenden Kriegsgefahr kündet. Dann erklingt ein launenhaftes Thema mit Unterbrechungen, in dem das Schießen der Soldaten zu hören ist. Dieses endet in einigen dissonanten Clustern, die den tragischen Tiefpunkt des Krieges betonen. Die darauffolgende Stille löst sich in einen ruhigen Mittelteil in Moll auf, aus dem einerseits Verdruss und andererseits Trost spricht. Dann kehrt das schnelle Tempo des Anfangs zurück, dieses Mal in der Form eines Freudenmarsches. Die Freiheit wird gefeiert. Auch das Thema der Fröhlichkeit, Unbefangenheit und Sorglosigkeit ist wieder zu hören. Nun folgt ein feierliches, martialisches Thema, eine Ehrerbietung an das Dorf, bevor das Werk mit festlichen Klängen endet. Sur le monument aux morts du village néerlandais de Wons est gravée une liste de noms en hommage aux soldats tombés lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce monument a inspiré le titre de cette composition. Mais celle-ci a aussi été écrite pour toutes les personnes qui ont donné Wons son caractère d’aujourd’hui : un joli village proche du lac d’IJssel où il fait bon vivre. La pièce débute par une introduction festive qui présente le village l’auditeur. S’ensuit un thème allègre et délicieusement rythmique qui reflète l’ambiance joyeuse, na ve et optimiste de l’avant-guerre. Puis nous entendons un motif sombre et fragmenté, représentant les fusillades ciblant les soldats. Cettepartie se termine par un faisceau de sons dissonants traduisant le caractère tragique de la guerre. Le calme revient avec un passage tranquille en mineur qui évoque la fois la frustration et l’apaisement. Le tempo du début est repris, cette fois sous la forme d’une marche victorieuse. Puis résonnent les accents premiers de gaieté, d’innocence et d’insouciance, invoquant la célébration de la liberté. Un thème martial et festif en hommage au village nous mène un pétillant finale.

Hans Werner Henze schrieb seine Oper Der Prinz von Homburg Igor Strawinsky zu Ehren. Dass es sich um keine unwurdige Ehrengabe handelt, mochte diese Arbeit dartun. Dabei ist der analytische Teil so etwas wie ein Beitrag zu einer Kompositionslehre geworden. Uber Musik kann man nur Randbemerkungen machen, sagt Henze, es bleibt da immer etwas, was sich verschweigt, woruber man schweigen muss.Der Autor hofft aber, dass man von diesen Bemerkungen am Rande aus die Mitte, jenes, was sich verschweigt, doch zu Gesicht bekommen und etwas von ihm begreifen kann, ohne es durch unwurdigen Zugriff zu versehen.So ist diese Arbeit Hans Werner Henze zu Ehren geschrieben worden.
