Tokyo-city

兰-高辛是奥利维耶-梅西安（Olivier Messiaen）在巴黎国家音乐学院（CNSM）的学生，也是一位名副其实的声音炼金术士，他创作了一部感性而闪亮的作品，旨在唤起听众内心的觉醒，日本人称之为 "Satori"。十年后创作的钢琴独奏曲《东京-城市》也汲取了同样的灵感，并在数次日本之行中得到启发。高辛试图再现他在日本大都市漫步时所体验到的各种感觉：面对一个充满和声与色彩的熙熙攘攘的世界，一种被其广阔吞没的恐惧让位于一种眩晕。作品采用双重对称结构（在音域和节奏方面）：在钢琴低音的神秘开头之后，一个音乐形象逐渐从浮动的复调中浮现出来，产生了一首名副其实的托卡塔曲，它慢慢变形，就像一个变形记。然后，只剩下晶莹剔透的和声，作品在钢琴的最高音上稀稀落落地结束""

原文简介:
“Allain Gaussin, a pupil of Olivier Messiaen at the CNSM in Paris, and a veritable alchemist of sound, created a sensual and sparkling work that aims to induce in listeners the sort of internal awakening that the Japanese refer to as Satori the title given to a piece for solo clarinet he wrote in 1998. Composed a decade later, Tokyo-City for solo Piano draws on the same inspiration, fuelled by several stays in Japan. Gaussin sets out to reproduce the various sensations he experienced during his walks around the Japanese megalopolis: a fear of being swallowed up by its vastness gives way to a bedazzlement in the face of a buzzing universe awash with harmonies and colours. The work follows a dual symmetrical structure (in terms of register and tempo): after an enigmatic start entrusted to the low notes of the piano, a musical figure gradually emerges from floating polyphonies, producing a veritable toccata which is slowly deformed, like an anaËmorphosis. Then, only a glimmering of crystal-clear harmonies remains, and the work ends sparsely on the highest notes of the piano.”
