A First Book of Inventions for orchestra 創意曲管弦樂團 總譜 朔特版

2010年，維格斯沃斯為利物浦皇家愛樂樂團創作了這首九分鐘的作品，通過七個相連的微型發明探索了永動（連續運動）的概念。一個有規律的脈搏構成了作品的核心，而中心音樂理念的闡釋則在鋸齒狀的節奏和華麗的管弦樂中不斷變化。 作曲家寫道："這七個部分可以簡單描述如下： 1）一個活躍的微型 "主題與變奏"；2）各種零散的二部曲式並置；3）弦樂的顫音與木管樂器的插奏，向第一個高潮發展； 4）在圓號和低音小號之間穿梭的切分音，以及高木管和低弦樂的對話；5）弦樂和聲和低音提琴撥弦的極慢卡農；6）由短笛獨奏開始的快速單聲部創作，逐漸進入第二個高潮；7）合唱。 這是一首生動的管弦樂小品，給人一種萬花筒的感覺，短小的音樂構思在快速的連續中相互交錯"

原文簡介:
Written in 2010 for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Wigglesworth's nine-minute work explores the idea of perpetuum mobile (continuous movement) in seven connected, miniature inventions. A regular pulse forms the work’s core, with elaborations of the central musical idea shifting constantly around it in jagged rhythms and sumptuous orchestration. The composer writes, The seven sections can very briefly be described thus: 1) an active, miniature 'theme and variations'; 2) the juxtaposition of various fragmentary two-part inventions; 3) a tremolo string ostinato with woodwind interjections, building towards the first climax; 4) an ostinato passing between horns and muted trumpets together with a dialogue for high woodwind and low strings; 5) a very slow canon for string harmonics and pizzicato double basses; 6) a fast, one-part invention beginning with solo piccolo, and gradually leading to the second climax; 7) chorale.This is a lively orchestral miniature which gives the impression of a kaleidoscope, with short musical ideas cutting across each other in quick succession.
