The Violin for Two Solo Violins and Tape (or Violin Ensemble) 小提琴 小提琴 小提琴 雙小提琴 博浩版
作曲家注：《小提琴》的創作靈感來自我的摯友、傑出的小提琴家尼爾-杜法洛（Neil Dufallo）和艾米-考夫曼（Amy Kauffman），以及另一位摯友、英國牛津的小提琴製作家布魯諾-瓜斯塔拉（Bruno Guastalla）。2008 年我母親去世後不久，我在牛津的一家慈善商店 Oxfam 發現了一把小提琴。它被放在一個佈滿灰塵的舊箱子裡，靠在地下室的一堆黑膠唱片旁。這把歐洲巴羅克風格的小提琴可以追溯到 19 世紀末，手工雕刻的獅頭卷軸售價 5.99 英鎊，非常便宜。這把小提琴需要修整一下，於是我把它帶到布魯諾的店裡，他修復了這把小提琴，作為交換，我給他上了一堂作曲課。回到布魯克林後，我又用一把修復精美的小提琴與尼爾和艾米交換--以小提琴二重奏換取小提琴課程。隨後，我創作了《藍色時刻》（Blue Hour），這是一首帶有預錄音軌的小提琴二重奏，2009 年，他們在約翰-佐恩（John Zorn）的紐約表演空間 "石頭"（The Stone）首演了這首作品，我也開始了我的小提琴課程。第二年夏天，我們在朋友喬迪-埃爾夫位於紐約上州蘋果園的家中錄音棚錄製了這首組曲。我最喜歡的小提琴獨奏曲之一是巴赫的 G 小調第一小提琴奏鳴曲 BWV 1001 中的前奏曲。在我母親的忌日那天，我又創作了六首樂曲，與《藍色時刻》一起組成了一個組曲，後者成為《小提琴》的開頭樂章--每晚創作一首樂曲，最後在她的忌日那天完成了《薰衣草雨》。在《讓這些手和茶葉休息》中引用了巴赫的詩句，這兩個樂章和《小提琴》的標題都來自我母親在生命最後一年寫的三首詩--安娜-克萊恩"

Composer's note:The Violin was inspired by my dear friends and wonderful violinists, Neil Dufallo and Amy Kauffman based in New York City, and another dear friend and violin maker, Bruno Guastalla, based in Oxford, England. Shortly after my mother passed away in 2008, I found a violin in Oxfam, a charity shop in Oxford. It was in a dusty old case leaning up against a pile of vinyl records in the basement. Priced at £ 5.99, the European baroque-style violin dating from the late 1800s, with a hand-carved lion’s head scroll was a bargain. It needed some work, so I took it to Bruno's shop and he restored the violin in exchange for composition lessons. Back in Brooklyn, with a beautifully restored fiddle in stow, I made another barter with Neil and Amy - a violin duet in exchange for violin lessons. I subsequently composed Blue Hour, a violin duet with a pre-recorded track, which they premiered at John Zorn's new York City Performance space, The Stone, in 2009, and I began my violin lessons. The following summer, we recorded the suite at our friend, Jody Elff's home studio on his apple orchard in Upstate New York.One of my favourite pieces of music for solo violin is the Presto from Bach's Violin Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001. On the anniversary of my mouther’s death, I composed six more pieces to make a suite alongside Blue Hour, which became the opening movement for The Violin - composing one piece an evening, finishing with Lavender Rain on the day of her anniversary. The Bach is quoted in Rest These Hands and Tea Leaves and these same two movements, along with The Violin, take their titles from three poems my mother wrote in the last year of her life.- Anna Clyne -
