Sur terre, en l'air op. 64 Three Pieces 哥爾．亞力山大 小品 中提琴加鋼琴 朔特版

在 1997 年奧爾德伯格音樂節上為中提琴和管弦樂隊排練《Schlussgesang》時，我構思了這首作品的標題，其內部韻律可以恰當地描述中提琴演奏家塔貝亞。夏天晚些時候，我創作了一首安多舞曲，其中的快板部分對比鮮明，是這三首樂曲中的第一首。緊接著，我又創作了第二首類似於迴旋曲的樂曲，並改編了《Schlussgesang》第五樂章作為終曲，這首樂曲是為了紀念我的老師奧利維耶-梅西安（Olivier Messiaen）而作，標題為'Kein Gedanke, nur ruhiger Schlaf [沒有思想，只有安靜的睡眠]，歌詞摘自弗朗茨-卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）寫在筆記本上的片段'"

原文簡介:
During the rehearsals for Schlussgesang for viola and orchestra performed at the 1997 Aldeburgh Festival, I conceived of the title of this present composition, with its internal rhyme, as an appropriate way of describing Tabea, the viola player. Later in the summer I composed an Andante, with a contrasting faster section which is the first of these three pieces. Immediately afterwards, I added a second, a scherzo-like piece, and for a finale made a transcription of the fifth movement of Schlussgesang, written in memory of my teacher Olivier Messiaen and titled Kein Gedanke, nur ruhiger Schlaf [no thought, only quiet sleep], the words taken from a fragment written down in a notebook by Franz Kafka.'
