Five-Finger Tower Piano pieces on Black Keys 黑勒．芭芭拉 鋼琴小品 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版
作曲家芭芭拉-海勒多年來一直通過在作品中使用有限的音樂素材來挑戰藝術想像力。早在 1984 年，她的作品《血色的信》（Scarlet Letters，肖特 ED 8620）就是這種方法的一個例子，該作品僅用 7 個音調就構成了一個完整的樂章。在《五指塔》中，芭芭拉-海勒施加了兩個限制：五個手指-五個琴鍵。樂曲只使用黑鍵，演奏時（幾乎）不使用 "拇指下方"。此外，"五指塔 "這一標題暗指芭芭拉所在城市達姆施塔特的婚姻塔。雖然本冊中的作品可以作為獨奏曲來學習，但它們主要應作為您自己的實驗和進一步發展的模型。事實上，本冊中的建議旨在説明您實現這一目標。從這個角度考慮，這種方法也是準備學習《白鍵》、《黑鍵》（肖特 ED 9918）、《隱藏的溪流》等長篇樂曲的合適方法"

Composer Barbara Heller has been challenging the artistic imagination for many years by using a limited amount of musical material in her works. An example of this approach can be seen in her work as early as 1984 in Scarlet Letters (Schott ED 8620), which is an entire cycle based on only 7 tones. In Five Finger Tower, Barbara Heller imposes two restrictions: five fingers–five keys. The pieces use only the black keys and are performed (nearly) without “thumb under”. Moreover, the title Five Finger Tower alludes to the Marriage Tower in Darmstadt, the city where Barbara is based.Barbara Heller’s works often straddle the border between composition and concept. While the pieces of this volume can be studied as recital pieces, they should be used primarily as models for your own experiments and further development. In fact, this volume contains suggestions that are designed to help you achieve this goal. Considered from this perspective, this approach is also an appropriate way to prepare the study of longer pieces such as White Keys, Black Keys (Schott ED 9918), Hidden Stream and others.
