Lutoslawski W. - Dance Preludes - Clarinette,piano

Danse Préludes, pour clarinette et Piano, est une oeuvre de chambre impressionnant par Witold Lutoslawski. Les cinq mouvements qui forment ce travail sont basées sur les chansons folkloriques du Nord de la Pologne, offrant une variété de contrastes. Il s'agit de la version originale de l'oeuvre, composée en 1954, pour clarinette et Piano. Cette pièce a été révisée par la suite pour ensemble de chambre et, de nouveau, pour orchestre. La partie de la clarinette solo est également incluse sur un encart séparé. / Clarinette / 28 pages / Partition

Par LUTOSLAWSKI WITOLD. Subito ? literally meaning ?suddenly? ? is a virtuosic scherzo filled with dazzling colours. The title itself defines the character of this work. Its expression is shaped by violent changes of tempo and dynamics, clashes between brilliant passagework and distinct articulation, on the one hand, and lyrical phrases, on the other, and a constant contrast between intense sonorities and light textures. The work?s concise form consigns it to the catalogue of so-called miniature pieces. Subito for violin and piano was composed in 1992 for the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. This arrangement for clarinet expands the instrument?s solo repertoire with a work of the highest compositional calibre, representing a mature stage in Witold Lutoslawski?s oeuvre. Among clarinettists, the composer is known principally for the Dance Preludes, which appear both on concert bills and also on the programmes of competitions and auditions. I believe that Subito can gain an equally prominent place in the clarinet literature and help to boost the popularity of Lutoslawski?s music among performers. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Clarinette et Piano
