Primer and Other Duets for One Piano/Four Hands 二重奏 鋼琴四手聯彈

對四手聯彈音樂的興趣似乎早就該復蘇了！Primer在一系列簡短的研究中回顧了四手聯彈，涉及不尋常的手部位移、節奏對位等。第一首樂曲 "Primer "是舞蹈性質的；"Whirligig "是音樂輪子的組合；"Wild Horses "是協調方面的研究；"S 先生的魔法骰子 "是演奏者之間雙手的交錯。"威尼斯灰濛濛的一天 "開啟了一系列風格冒險，這裡是對孟德爾松式貢朵拉的喚醒，"行動繪畫 "則是對傑克遜-波洛克（Jackson Pollock）精心散落的水滴的喚醒。"La Sarabande de l'Infini "是向兩位法國四手聯彈鋼琴音樂大師（這裡是德彪西）的陵墓獻上的兩個花圈之一；壓軸曲目 "Hommage a Satie, le Divo de l'Empire "則讓人想起天鵝絨紳士的歌舞生涯。此外，還包括首次出版的向法國浪漫主義作曲家埃馬紐埃爾-沙布裡耶致敬的《Chabrieriana》和獻給朋友的《傷感圓舞曲》。此外還收錄了之前出版的Dedicace"

原文簡介:
A revival of interest in four-hand music seems long overdue! Primer reviews the ensemble in a series of short studies, involving unusual hand displacement, rhythmic counterpoint, and the like. “Primer,” the first study, is choreographic in nature; “Whirligig,” a pitting together of musical wheels; “Wild Horses,” a study in coordination; “Mr. S's Magic Dice,” interlocking of hands between players. “A Gray Day in Venice” begins a series of stylistic adventures, here an evocation of a Mendelssohnian gondola, where “Action-painting” invokes the carefully scattered drips in Jackson Pollock. “La Sarabande de l'Infini” is one of two wreaths laid at the tombs of two French masters of piano music for four hands, here Debussy; and for a finale “Hommage a Satie, le Divo de l'Empire,” recalling the Velvet Gentleman's cabaret career. Also includes the first publications of Chabrieriana a compact tribute to the Romantic French composer, Emmanuel Chabrier, and Sentimental Waltz, a dedicatory piece to a friend. The previously-published Dedicace is also included.
