Five-Finger Tower Piano pieces on Black Keys 黑勒．芭芭拉 钢琴小品 钢琴独奏 朔特版
作曲家芭芭拉-海勒多年来一直通过在作品中使用有限的音乐素材来挑战艺术想象力。早在 1984 年，她的作品《血色的信》（Scarlet Letters，肖特 ED 8620）就是这种方法的一个例子，该作品仅用 7 个音调就构成了一个完整的乐章。在《五指塔》中，芭芭拉-海勒施加了两个限制：五个手指-五个琴键。乐曲只使用黑键，演奏时（几乎）不使用 "拇指下方"。此外，"五指塔 "这一标题暗指芭芭拉所在城市达姆施塔特的婚姻塔。虽然本册中的作品可以作为独奏曲来学习，但它们主要应作为您自己的实验和进一步发展的模型。事实上，本册中的建议旨在说明您实现这一目标。从这个角度考虑，这种方法也是准备学习《白键》、《黑键》（肖特 ED 9918）、《隐藏的溪流》等长篇乐曲的合适方法"

Composer Barbara Heller has been challenging the artistic imagination for many years by using a limited amount of musical material in her works. An example of this approach can be seen in her work as early as 1984 in Scarlet Letters (Schott ED 8620), which is an entire cycle based on only 7 tones. In Five Finger Tower, Barbara Heller imposes two restrictions: five fingers–five keys. The pieces use only the black keys and are performed (nearly) without “thumb under”. Moreover, the title Five Finger Tower alludes to the Marriage Tower in Darmstadt, the city where Barbara is based.Barbara Heller’s works often straddle the border between composition and concept. While the pieces of this volume can be studied as recital pieces, they should be used primarily as models for your own experiments and further development. In fact, this volume contains suggestions that are designed to help you achieve this goal. Considered from this perspective, this approach is also an appropriate way to prepare the study of longer pieces such as White Keys, Black Keys (Schott ED 9918), Hidden Stream and others.
