Piano Album II 鋼琴 4手聯彈(含以上) 博浩版

作曲家注：我童年時曾跟隨格申-科尼科和瑪西婭-波利斯學習鋼琴。我總是被 20 世紀的音樂所吸引，尤其是蒙波、薩蒂和巴托克。在我自己的鋼琴音樂中，我努力追求直接性、非對稱性，最重要的是透明性，這使得隱含的空間和寂靜成為作品的基礎。音樂看似簡單，但細節的錯綜複雜以及表現力和克制力的結合給演奏者帶來了挑戰；每一個手勢都暴露無遺，清晰明瞭。由於我工作的核心是為聲樂作曲，因此，旋律的創造性、音色的多樣性和嚴謹中的自發性都是我嘗試將其融入鋼琴音樂的方面

原文簡介:
Note from the composer:I studied piano throughout my childhood with Gershon Konikow and Marcia Polis. I was always drawn to 20th century music, particularly Mompou, Satie and Bartók. In my own piano music, I have tried for directness, asymmetry, and above all transparency which allows for implied space and silence to underlie the composition. The music is seemingly simple, but the intricacy of detail and the combination of expressivity and restraint create a challenge for the performer; every gesture is exposed and clear. Since the heart of my work is composing music for the voice, melodic invention, variety of timbre and spontaneity within a rigorous from are aspects that I attempt to bring to my piano music.I would like to thank the pianists that have given me so much encouragement over the years.- Meredith Monk -
