Elegy for Solo Violin (Solo Viola) 斯特拉温斯基．伊果 悲歌 小提琴中提琴 小提琴独奏 朔特版

虽然斯特拉文斯基本人并不认识几位受委托为其创作纪念曲的人，但在这部作品中，斯特拉文斯基似乎与奥努有过联系，因为 Pro Arte Quartet 曾参与过奥努音乐的演出，不过有证据表明，这部作品在接到普雷沃斯特的委托之前就已草拟完毕。 挽歌》是一部非同寻常的作品，建议用小提琴或中提琴演奏，并可上下转调五度。乐曲采用三部曲式，中心部分为赋格，两个声部相互交错，起始和结束部分都是缓慢展开的圣咏式冥想旋律，乐曲中各乐句之间的呼吸停顿将其分成长短不一的乐句。有趣的是，这首乐曲还曾在 1945 年演出过，后来又多次与乔治-巴兰钦编排的舞蹈一起演出，他在作品中试图'通过扎根于舞台中央位置的两名舞者交错的身体，反映音乐的流动和集中的变化'"

原文简介:
Whilst Stravinsky himself did not know several of the people whom he was commissioned to write memorials for, in this case it seems Stravinsky did have a connection to Onnou, as the Pro Arte Quartet had been involved with performances of his music, though there is evidence to suggest that the work was sketched before the commission by Prévost was received.Elegy is an unusual work, which is suggested for performance on either violin or viola with transposition up or down by a fifth, and is directed to be performed with the instrument muted throughout, creating a dark and sombre sound-world. The ternary (three-part) form of the piece presents a fugal central section with two interlocking voices, framed at the start and end with a slowly unfolding chant-like and meditative melody, broken into phrases of varying length by breath-like pauses specified between phrases within the music. Interestingly, this piece was also performed in 1945 and several times later with a dance choreographed by George Balanchine, who attempted in his work ‘to reflect the flow and concentrated variety of the music through the interlaced bodies of two dancers rooted to a central spot on the stage.’
