Dance Figures 舞曲

这九部管弦乐小品由丹尼尔-巴伦博伊姆和芝加哥交响乐团于 2004 年首演，并由安妮-特雷莎-德-基尔斯梅克（Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker）在 La Monnaie 进行编排，标志着本雅明创作的转折点。本雅明的九部管弦乐小品标志着他创作的转折点，《帛书》（Palimpsests）和《突然的时间》（Sudden Time）等作品的复杂表面在这里被更直接、更直接的表达方式所取代，这种表达方式更适合舞台。与《布列兹笔记》类似，这部 15 分钟的作品是对《钢琴数字》中多首钢琴曲的详细阐述（而非简单的配器）。此外，还收录了本雅明向好友奥利弗-克努森致敬的感人至深的 50 岁生日歌《Olicantus》"

原文简介:
Premiered by Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony in 2004, and choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker at La Monnaie, these nine orchestral miniatures marked a turning point in Benjamin’s output. The intricate surfaces of works like Palimpsests and Sudden Time are replaced here with a more direct and immediate mode of expression better suited to the stage. In a similar way to the Boulez Notations, this 15-minute work is an elaboration (rather than a simple orchestration) of a number of piano pieces, from Piano Figures. Also included is Olicantus, Benjamin’s touching 50th birthday tribute to his friend Oliver Knussen.
