Scharlachrote Buchstaben 黑勒．芭芭拉 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

1984年，鋼琴家和大鍵琴演奏家弗朗茨彼得-戈貝爾斯（Franzpeter Goebels，1920-1988 年）受多梅尼科-斯卡拉蒂（Domenico Scarlatti）誕辰 300 周年之際委託，創作了《猩紅的信》。最初的作品名稱 "Lettere scarlattine "暗含了對這位義大利作曲家的敬意。作曲素材僅限於 D、E、C、Es（= S，口語 "Es"=德語記譜法中的 E 平調）和 A（源自多梅尼科-斯卡拉蒂名字的音素），以及 B（=德語記譜法中的 B 平調）和 H（= B 自然調）（我名字的首字母）。通過 7 個音調和 7 個聲部，這首樂曲講述了我與作曲家多梅尼科-斯卡拉蒂的邂逅，他是我當時最喜歡的作曲家之一。有時，我也會使用在斯卡拉蒂奏鳴曲中發現的作曲手段，如快速的 6/8 數位、後拍八度和短動機的重複。我試圖將他音樂中的清晰、明快、歡快、驚人的調式和鋼琴的輝煌轉化為我的作曲語言。首演： 31. 首演：1987 年 10 月 31 日，烏納國際女作曲家節；鋼琴：羅薩里奧-瑪律西亞諾"

原文簡介:
Scarlet Letters was composed in 1984 on commission of the pianist and harpsichordist Franzpeter Goebels (1920–1988) on the occasion of the 300th birth day of Domenico Scarlatti. The original working title ”Lettere scarlattine” is a concealed homage to the Italian composer. The compositional material is limited to the tones D, E, C, Es (= S, spoken ”Es“ = E flat in German notation) and A, derived from the musical letters of Domenico Scarlatti’s name, and the tones B (= B flat in German nota tion) and H (= B natural), the initials of my name. With 7 tones and 7 parts, this music is a sort of story about my imaginary encounter with the composer Domenico Scarlatti who was then one of my favourite composers. Sometimes I also used compositional means which I discovered in the sonatas of Scarlatti, such as quick 6/8 figures, afterbeat octaves and repetitions of short motifs. I tried to translatethe clarity, brightness and cheerfulness, the astounding modulations and the pianistic brilliance of his music into my compositional language.Barbara HellerThe piece was recorded on CD by the American pianist Deborah Richards (WERGO 6610-02). First performance: 31. October 1987 International Festival of Women Composers, Unna; Rosario Marciano, piano.
