Black Earth op. 8 (Kara Toprak) 賽伊．法佐 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

黑土地》的靈感來自土耳其的一首流行歌曲 Kara Toprak。這首歌的作曲家阿斯克-韋塞爾（As?k Veysel，1891-1973 年）是土耳其最後一位偉大的民謠歌手，也是土耳其千年傳統的最後一環。隨後，他開始學習彈奏土耳其琵琶薩茲（Saz）和學習詩歌，最初只是為了自娛自樂。他結識了許多民間詩人，1928 年後，他還帶著自己的歌曲走村串戶。在歌曲《卡拉-托普拉克》（Kara Toprak）中，韋塞爾描述了孤獨和失落。在《黑土地》的引子和尾聲中，法茲爾-薩伊（Faz?l Say）通過選擇低音效果模仿了薩茲琴的聲音--這是一首關於民謠主題的冥想曲。相反，民謠、浪漫主義鋼琴風格和爵士樂在中心部分交織在一起，形成了大規模的爆發。法茲爾-薩伊在古典音樂會和爵士音樂節上都演奏過這部作品：特別是在民俗部分，他運用了民俗音樂和爵士樂所固有的即興自由

原文簡介:
Black Earth was inspired by Kara Toprak, a popular song in Turkey. The composer of the song, As?k Veysel (1891-1973), was one of the last great Turkish balladeers and the final link in a thousand-year tradition.Veysel went blind during childhood following an attack of smallpox. He subsequently began to learn to play the Saz, a Turkish lute, and to study poetry, initially for his own amusement. He made acquaintance with a variety of folk poets, and, after 1928, also travelled from village to village with his songs. Through the years, he became a cultural symbol of the Turkish Republic.In the song Kara Toprak, Veysel describes loneliness and loss. All that remains is the Black Earth, the colour of the landscape in his native town of Sivas.Faz?l Say imitates the sound of the Saz through his selection of a muted effect in the Introduction and Epilogue of Black Earth - a meditation on the themes of a ballad. In contrast, folklore, Romantic piano style and jazz are entwined in the central sections to form a large-scale outburst. Faz?l Say performs this works in both concerts of classical music and a jazz festivals: particularly in the folkloristic sections, he employs the improvisatory freedom which is inherent to both folk music and jazz.
