Griffes: Roman Sketches, Op. 7

羅馬素描，作品 7，是 20 世紀作曲家查理斯-格里菲斯最受歡迎的作品之一。這套鋼琴組曲由四首小品組成，創作於 1915 年至 1916 年間，體現了格里菲斯在將現代手法融入作品方面不斷發展的品味。這些樂曲充滿了許多令人難忘、令人回味和令人滿意的鋼琴時刻，需要力量、敏捷和細膩，以及對音樂的敏感。組曲以《白孔雀》開始，對異國情調的白鳥進行了感性的描繪。第二首作品《夜幕降臨》捕捉了黃昏的靜謐，隨後漸入高潮，旋律強勁有力。第三首作品《寶拉水泉》繼承了李斯特的《埃斯特別墅噴泉》和拉威爾的《水之樂》的傳統，將著名的羅馬噴泉的聲響和波光展現得栩栩如生。最後一幅素描《雲》不僅描繪了輕輕飄動的雲朵，還描繪了陣陣微風和明媚的陽光。整套作品的時長不到 20 分鐘。該版本包含查理斯-格里菲斯的簡短傳記、其作曲風格概述以及每部作品的分析，包括對形式和演奏注意事項的詳細研究。該版本是2019年音樂出版商協會保羅-雷維爾優秀圖文獎的一等獎得主"

原文簡介:
Roman Sketches, Op. 7, is one of 20th-century composer Charles Griffes's most popular works. This piano suite of four short pieces, written between 1915 and 1916, illustrates Griffes's evolving tastes in incorporating modern devices into his compositions. Filled with many memorable, evocative, and pianistically satisfying moments, the pieces require power, agility, and finesse, as well as musical sensitivity. The suite begins with "The White Peacock," a sensuous depiction of the exotic white bird. The second work, "Nightfall," captures the stillness of dusk, before gaining excitement and swirling to two powerful climaxes. The third piece, "The Fountain of the Acqua Paola," in the tradition of Liszt's "Fountains of the Villa d'Este" and Ravel's "Jeux d'eau," brings to life the sound and shimmer of a famous Roman fountain. The last sketch, "Clouds," not only depicts gently wafting clouds but also gusts of wind and bright rays of sunshine. The duration of the entire suite is slightly less than 20 minutes. This edition contains a short biography of Charles Griffes, an overview of his compositional style, and an analysis each work, including a detailed study of form and performance considerations. This edition is a first-prize winner of the 2019 Music Publishers Association Paul Revere Awards For Graphic Excellence.
