Personae IV-VI 莫,尼可拉斯

尼古拉斯-莫（Nicholas Maw）于 1985 年秋季创作了这三首各具特色且极具考验性的钢琴作品，试图绕过战后钢琴作品的许多特征，继承'旧'钢琴主义的传统。 在长达 25 分钟的时间里，这些作品将钢琴作为一种供演奏家使用的独奏画室管弦乐队，并在创作过程中充分考虑到了演奏乐器的物理特性；触摸的动作、手在键盘上的移动方式、和弦或音符在手指下的形状和感觉、键盘伴奏的原型、对连音线条的控制--马乌称之为'歌曲的蜕变'"

原文简介:
In these three characterful and testing piano studies, composed in the autumn of 1985, Nicholas Maw sought to bypass many of the characteristics of post-war piano writing and take up where the ‘old’ pianism left off. Over their 25-minute span, they take the instrument as a kind of solo drawing room orchestra put at the disposal of a virtuoso player, and were written with the physical characteristics of playing the instrument very much in mind; the act of touch, how the hands move on the keyboard, the shape and feel of a chord or note-cluster under the fingers, the archetypes of keyboard accompaniment figures, the control of a legato line – what Maw described as ‘the metamorphosis of song’. ‘Never seemingly anachronistic or reactionary, the pieces caress, ravish, astound and seriously engage the ear.’ The Financial Times (Paul Driver), 10 June 1986 ‘This is virtuoso music in weight as much as technique.’ The Times (Paul Grifiths), 9 June 1986
