Die alte Weise sehnsuchtsbang op. 70 Contrapuntal variations on the Old Shepherd's Song from Richard Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolde' 變奏曲 歌 雙鋼琴 朔特版
012 年，我創作了一組變奏曲（原為管弦樂，後於 2013 年改編為雙鋼琴曲），其基礎是瓦格納最富靈感、最令人魂牽夢縈的旋律之一--《特裡斯坦與伊索爾德》第三幕開頭的延長號獨奏曲 "古老的牧羊人之歌"（alte Hirtenweise）。這首看似簡單、實則複雜的旋律是我進行廣闊幻想的起點，我在其中探索了旋律元素變奏發展的潛力。在八個延長的樂章中，各個主題被轉換和重構，並頻繁使用複調手法，而且反復被原始主題的聲音打斷。作品的結尾是一個慵懶的尾聲，與 "救贖 "和 "Liebestod "的主題相距甚遠。斯特凡-豪克

原文簡介:
In 2012, I composed a set of variations (originally for orchestra and subsequently arranged for two pianos in 2013 ) based on one of Wagners most inspired and haunting melodies, the alte Hirtenweise [old shepherds song], an extended cor anglais solo at the start of Act III of Tristan and Isolde. This seemingly simple, yet deceptively complex melody was my starting point for an expansive fantasy in which I explore the potential of the melodic elements for variational development. The individual motifs are transformed and reconstructed in eight extended movements making frequent use of polyphony and are repeatedly interrupted by the sounding of the original theme. The work concludes with a languid coda at a great distance from the themes of salvation and Liebestod. Stefan Heucke
