ReSolUtIo op. 74 Echoes from Beethoven's Harp Quartet 弦樂四重奏 朔特版

當 Cuarteto Casals 向我提出重新詮釋貝多芬四重奏的想法時，你可以想像我當時的想法和感受：多麼高興，多麼榮幸......多麼引人入勝！你怎麼可能讓已經完美的東西煥發出新的光彩呢？幾個星期、幾個月過去了，我一直在尋找我和大師之間的共同點，直到我終於發現，聖約翰讚美詩中 "隱藏 "著一個詞，它賦予音符最初的名字："Re, Sol, Ut, Io"（英語音樂符號中為 D、G、C、B）完美！在拉丁語中，"Resolutio "既有解決問題的意思，也有重新解決的意思：將許多元素重新融合，最終凝結成新的東西。我的作品終於有了旋律和節奏。在這幅畫布上，我寫下了一個有趣的小競賽故事：在一個陽光明媚的地中海廣場上，街頭音樂家和卡薩爾斯管弦樂團（Cuarteto Casals）在即將登臺表演貝多芬的 "豎琴四重奏 "前幾分鐘進行了競賽。在所有角色（每個角色都以自己的方式）都有機會講述自己的故事之後，一場細雨開始落下，再次溶解（重新溶解）了樂譜，最終只留下一張白紙，讓其他人繼續創作。(盧西奧-佛朗哥-阿曼蒂）

原文簡介:
When Cuarteto Casals approached me with the idea of illuminating Beethoven´s quartets anew, you can imagine the many thoughts and feelings that where going through my mind: what a joy, what a great honor… What an intriguing head-scratcher! How can you possibly shine a new light on something that is already perfect? Weeks, months went by in search of a common ground between the Master and myself until I finally found it in the realization that a word lays “hidden” in the St. John’s hymn that gave musical notes their original name: ‘Re, Sol, Ut, Io’ (D, G, C, B in English music notation) Perfect! “Resolutio” in Latin means both the resolution of a problem and the re-solution: a re-blend of many elements that will eventually coagulate to make something new. There was finally the melodic and a rhythmical canvas for my piece. On this canvas I wrote the story of a funny little contest, played on a sunny Mediterranean square, between street musicians and Cuarteto Casals just minutes before they are about to go on stage to perform Beethoven´s “Harp Quartet”. After all the characters, each in his own way, had the chance to tell their story, a gentle rain starts to fall, dissolving (Re-solving) again the music sheet to eventually leave us with just a white piece of paper for somebody else to continue the Work.
