Variations op. 93 (Homage to Haydn) 哥爾．亞力山大 變奏曲 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

我的作品的副標題是'向海頓致敬'。為什麼呢？因為它以海頓的《F 小調/大調變奏曲》為藍本。但模仿並不意味著抄襲或模仿。從勃拉姆斯開始（如果不是在此之前），以各種方式模仿他人作品的例子不勝枚舉。這樣做並不意味著親近原作，而是不可避免地遠離原作。我不知道聽眾是否會因為瞭解原作而更加明智。無論如何，作品必須有自己的立足點。亞歷山大-戈

原文簡介:
My piece is subtitled ‘Homage to Haydn’. Why? Because it is modelled on Haydn’s Variations in F minor/major. But modelled does not imply pastiche or imitation. From Brahms onwards (if not before) there are countless examples of pieces modelled on others in a variety of ways. To do this does not imply a closeness to the original, rather inevitably a distance from it. I don’t know whether a listener would be the wiser for knowing the original. In any case a composition must stand on its own feet. Alexander Goehr
