Piano Pieces I-V 钢琴 小品

这些钢琴小品创作于 1962 年至 1965 年之间，是罗杰-斯马里作品中的第一部重要作品。虽然这些作品的简洁性和结构张力明显受到韦伯恩和布列兹的影响，但这些影响已被综合为一种可识别的独特声音，其中采用了一系列巧妙的音调、动态和色彩技巧，这些技巧后来成为作曲家（他本人也是一位优秀的钢琴家）的核心。第二首曲子不仅是对时长比例的练习，也是对键盘攻击和钢琴音色自然衰减的微妙之处的练习，而最后一首曲子则以卡农和中世纪的等节奏技巧为基础，更具协奏性"

原文简介:
Composed at intervals between 1962 and 1965, these short piano pieces are the first key work in Roger Smalley’s output. Whilst their conciseness and structural tension clearly evince the influence of Webern and Boulez, these stimuli have been synthesised into a recognisably individual voice, which employs a range of ingenious mensural, dynamic and colouristic techniques that would later become central to the composer (himself a fine pianist). The second piece is an exercise not only in proportional durations, but also in the subtleties of keyboard attack and the natural decay of piano tone, whilst the last piece is more contrapuntal, based on canon and the medieval technique of isorhythm. ‘These are finished compositions not sketches: there is no apparent hesitancy in the application of newly adopted methods, and the sense of keyboard style is almost faultless.’ Music and Musicians (Stephen Walsh), October 1969
