Masks

奧利弗-克努森（Oliver Knussen）為長笛創作的《面具》（可選配玻璃風鈴）是一首引人入勝、與眾不同的作品，探索了表演的戲劇性。它在舞臺上開始，也在舞臺上結束，是獨奏者表演的一出微型戲劇，涉及兩個角色的對立，這兩個角色在舞臺上通過視覺以及其他動作和姿態表現出來。這部 8 分鐘的作品在技術上要求極高且變化多端，非傳統的效果，如按鍵和顫音，都為其增色不少，對高級演奏家來說是個不小的挑戰"

原文簡介:
Oliver Knussen’s Masks for flute with optional glass chimes is an intriguing and unusual piece which explores the dramatic aspects of performance. It begins and ends of stage, and is a miniature drama enacted by the soloist, concerning the opposition of two character aspects which are defined visually on stage and also through other movements and gestures. Technically highly demanding and varied, with unconventional effects such as key clicks and flutter tonguing contributing to its colouristic make-up, this 8-minute work contains much to challenge the advanced performer. ‘A dramatic, arresting and ingenious compostion in which the soloist’s positions and perambulations as well as his notes are indicated’. Andrew Porter (New Yorker), 11 November 1974
