Live Oaks for Piano Quintet 皮克 鋼琴五重奏 朔特版

我們都是在過去不朽的鋼琴五重奏中長大的，這些音樂令人激動。但當我自己開始創作鋼琴五重奏時，'進入'卻讓我難以捉摸。我一直在想，鋼琴和絃樂四重奏彼此需要，就像腦袋上的一個洞。為什麼要把它們結合起來呢？我向大師們尋求靈感，一路走來，我逐漸相信，即使是大師們也曾苦苦思索過這個問題。舒曼、勃拉姆斯、德沃夏克、弗蘭克、埃爾加、肖斯塔科維奇和卡特各自只寫了一首，這也許並非巧合。尋找自己的答案很困難，而且需要很長時間。當答案終於出現時，我感到無比喜悅。我的鋼琴五重奏反映了這種喜悅，這是我寫過的其他作品所沒有的。托比亞斯-皮

原文簡介:
We all grew up on the monumental piano quintets of the past – such thrilling music. But as I began to write a piano quintet myself, ‘the way in’ eluded me. I kept thinking, a piano and a string quartet need e ach other like a hole in the head. Why combine them anyway? I looked to the masters for inspiration and along the way became convinced that even they had grappled with this question. Perhaps it was no coincidence that Schumann, Brahms, Dvo?ák, Franck, Elgar, Shostakovich and Carter had each written only one. Finding my own answer was difficult and took a long time. When the answer finally came – it gave me great joy. My Piano Quintet reflects that joy as no other piece I’ve ever written has done. Tobias Picker
