Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 22 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #780474. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1180570).Wikipedia entry on Ferruccio Busoni's Elegies (German: Elegien): The "Elegies" mark a significant change in Busoni's compositional approach. The harmonic language of the "Elegies" is extended, with the pedal used audaciously to blend disparate tones: unrelated triads are overlapped and juxtaposed; chords are constructed from intervals other than thirds; unusual and highly chromatic scales and runs, often differing from the surrounding harmonies, are extensively employed and varied; melodies, and solitary "sighs," moving by whole and half steps, magnify these disorienting effects."
Busoni recognized the change: "My entire personal vision I put down at last and for the first time in the Elegies," and "the Elegies signify a milestone in my development. Almost a transformation ..."
Inspired by his work, I gave myself a challenge to write my own version of "Elegien." Like the Busoni, it is in seven movements for solo piano.
1. Recueillement ... Sostenuto, quasi Moderato
2. Barcarolo in modo napolitano ... Andante
3. Choralvorspiel ... Adagio
4. Intermezzo ... Allegretto TRIO
5. Walzer ... Andante, più tranquillo
6. Notturno ... Moderato … quasi rubato, Andante
7. Berceuse ... Largo calmo
This work is dedicated to the memory of Nika Shakarami and Sarina Esmailzadeh.
