Vecherinka for two pianos (in five hands) 鋼琴 雙鋼琴 朔特版

Vecherinka "在俄語中是派對或節日聚會的意思。作品中的聚會取自我的歌劇《大衣》（根據果戈理改編）的第一幕。這個聚會是為了慶祝不幸的主人公阿卡基-阿卡基耶維奇終於買得起新大衣。他的辦公室同事們強迫他參加一個安排好的聚會，為這件新衣服乾杯不止一次，但遺憾的是，Akaky 只成為其他人喝醉的藉口。音樂描繪了整個喧鬧的場景，民謠樂隊伴隨著紙牌遊戲和騷亂的氣氛。音樂的直接性、多彩性和戲劇性不言而喻，無需贅言。標題中的 "五手 "指的是聚會期間進行的紙牌遊戲

原文簡介:
Vecherinka is the Russian word for party or festive gathering. The party to which the work refers is taken from the first act of my opera, The Overcoat (after Gogol). This party celebrates the new coat that the hapless hero, Akaky Akakievich, has finally been able to afford. His office workers have forced him to attend an arranged gathering to toast, more than a few times, this new article of clothing but sadly, Akaky becomes little more than an excuse for everyone else to get drunk. The music portrays the general hubbub of the scene, a folk-band accompanying the card games taking place and the general riotous atmosphere. The direct, colourful and dramatic nature of the music should be immediate and require no further explanation. The five hands of the title refers to games or ‘hands’ of cards which take place during the party.
