Argoru IV for viola 中提琴 中提琴独奏 朔特版

阿戈鲁四世》是辛格特职业生涯早期的作品，也是当代音乐史上左脑极度发达的时期。具有讽刺意味的是，在同一时期，年轻的辛格尔顿也在他的乐谱中尝试即兴创作。这首中提琴独奏曲中蜂拥而至的文字难题并非为了炫耀其数学水平，而是真实地展现了作曲家脑中的所思所想。在这里，符号控制着一切，揉弦的速度，甚至是轻微的节奏变化。这首早期作品中的许多因素之一，将出现在辛格尔顿整个职业生涯中的其他作品中。这首早期作品中的许多因素将出现在辛格尔顿职业生涯中的其他作品中。例如，乐曲的前两个 8 分音符是在 8 分休止符之后演奏的，而不是在前两个音符之后演奏。长音（有些非常长）通常与快速的短音形成对比。对比是关键。在作品的很深处才需要拨弦，但在如此多的arco演奏中，7分钟时的一个单独的forte拨弦却产生了强烈的效果......就像歌舞伎表演中的一个对比乐章。今晚的演出是 ARGORU IV 在美国的首演"

原文简介:
A work from early in his career and during an extremely left-brained-heavy period in contemporary music history, Argoru IV on the page is dense with rhythmic and notational difficulties. Ironically enough, a young Singleton during this same period was also experimenting with improvisation in his scores. A fiendishly difficult work on the written page, to the ear Argoru IV is dramatic and expressively gratifying, especially for the performer.One is moreover convinced that the bee hive of written difficulties in this work for solo viola is not about showing off its math, but really shows precisely what was heard in the composer's head. Here notation controls everything, rates of vibrato, even slight tempo changes. A section of notes approached via multiple grace notes is a choice over simply writing the grace notes out as regular rhythms....a subtle aid to the player's expression.One of the many factors in this early work which will appear in other of his works throughout Singleton's career. The tantalizing querulous first lick followed by silence is one. The playing with both audience expectations but also those of the musicians are there... for example the first two 8th notes of the piece are to be executed after an 8th note breath rest, not as a down beated first 2 notes. Long tones (some very long) are typically contrasted with quick short ones. Contrast is the key. It is very deep into the work before pizzicato is called for yet one solitary forte pizz at 7 minutes n the midst of so much arco playing has a powerful effect... much like a single contrasting movement in the midst of Kabuki acting. This evening's performance marks ARGORU IV's US premiere performance.
