Two Nocturnes op. 307 for piano quartet 马克斯威尔˙戴维斯 钢琴四重奏 夜曲钢琴四重奏 朔特版

2010 年是肖邦年，我在通读和聆听了肖邦的大部分作品后，将这对夜曲作为一个小小的纪念。我以前从未在这种麻醉状态下创作过--音乐的维度被极大地夸张了，每个音程和每个乐句都被拉得不成比例，整整几分钟充满了整个时空。钢琴四重奏的配器受到室内乐版协奏曲的新古典主义风格的影响，和声语言则是肖邦对 J.S. 巴赫的个性化思考的结果

作曲家: Maxwell Davies Sir Peter
乐器: piano, violin, viola and cello

原文简介:
The two nocturnes were composed immediately after major surgery, against a deadline, and, despite the music sounding unlike anything I have written before, I decided to keep them exactly as they turned out.2010 is a Chopin year, and I made this pair of nocturnes into a little tribute, after playing through and listening to most of his output. Never before had I composed under these drugged conditions – the musical dimensions were enormously exaggerated, with each interval and each phrase being elongated out of all proportion, and the whole few minutes filling the whole of time and space.The orchestration, for piano quartet, was influenced by the very neo-classical feel of the chamber version of the concertos, and the harmonic language very much the result of pondering Chopin’s very individual take on J.S Bach.They are dedicated to James MacMillan and Amelia Freedman respectively.Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (2010)
