Colloque No. 2, op. 11 op. 11 雙鋼琴 朔特版

樂器有自己的個性，它的聲音可以激起反應，引起戲劇性的衝動，喚醒色彩和情緒；它能夠表達和回應生活和精神中的所有問題。因此，當作曲家萌生將西方音樂世界中音域最豐富的兩種樂器結合在一起的想法時，他想像它們在一場激情澎湃、盛況空前的對話中相互應答，就像兩位傳說中的神話英雄。他們的個性並沒有融合，而是以這樣一種方式對立或疊加：他們各自的頻率和能量的釋放導致了一首詩的創作，就像一個故事的出現和發展。"第二交響曲 "以鋼琴和管風琴齊聲發出的一種歎息開場：聲音適度而平靜，仿佛他們決定一起走一段路。但很快，鋼琴的一聲令下打破了寧靜。隨後，管風琴奏出沉重的進行曲，引出一個樂句，為無數的發展和變奏提供了主題。其中有些是修辭性的，有些則是戲劇性的，管風琴和鋼琴輪番展現出或洶湧、或誘人、或溫柔、或憤怒的特徵。"這場戲劇的高潮時刻是管風琴的巨大和絃與鋼琴的憤怒宣敘調交織在一起，這兩種樂器的所有光彩都彙聚在一個最強音中"

原文簡介:
A musical instrument has its own personality, with a voice that can provoke reactions, give rise to dramatic impulses and awaken colours and moods; it is capable of articulating and responding to all life's questions and those of the spirit. When the composer had the idea of bringing together two instruments with the richest range of sounds in the Western musical world, he therefore imagined them answering one another in a passionate and eventfull colloquy, like two legendary mythological heroes.They are indeed opposed in character, with contrasting voices that cannot match one another in timbre. Their personalities do not blend; they are opposed or superimposed in such a way that their respective frequencies and the release of their energy leads to the creation of a poem, as a story emerges and develops.This Colloque No. 2 opens with a kind of sigh emitted by the piano and organ in unison: there is a modest and calm regularity to the sound, as though they had decided to walk a little way together. Soon, though, the peace is troubled by a command from the piano. This is followed by a kind of heavy march on the organ, introducing a musical phrase that is to provide the motif for numerous developments and variations. Some of these are rhetorical, some of them dramatic, as the organ and the piano take turns at displaying features that may be menacing, seductive, tender or furious.The culminating moment in this drama is when immense chords are head from the organ over a furious declamation from the piano, with all the brillance of these two instruments combined in a fortissimo.The conclusion takes the form of that same timid and languorous sigh, in the course of which the two protagonists unfurl their lyrical and tender replies.
