The Diamond for violin and piano 小提琴钢琴 小提琴加钢琴 朔特版

在早期佛教经典《金刚经》（又名《金刚破幻经》）中，佛陀引导他的对话者长老苏布提提出了一系列问题和挑衅。最后，佛陀向与会者开示："一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观。"这首二重奏分为四个部分，大致对应这四种不同的无常观：形与空交错的四个不同时刻，钻石的四个角。这一系列图像本身就是一种构成，将不同的元素汇聚成一个统一的系统。它表明，我们创造的事物与超越意图而存在的事物相似。佛陀的话语帮助我们聆听所谓的作曲和即兴创作，或者是音乐这一涵盖性范畴，将其视为一个更大的集合体的一部分：形成和消退的事物。 维贾伊-伊耶"

原文简介:
In The Diamond Sutra, an early Buddhist text also known as The Diamond that Cuts Through Illusion, the Buddha leads his interlocutor, the Elder Subhuti, through a series of questions and provocations. The Buddha then concludes the session by offering this teaching to those assembled:All composed things are like a dream,a phantom, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.That is how to meditate on them;that is how to observe them.This duo piece is in four sections, corresponding roughly to these four disparate visions of impermanence: four distinct moments of interplay between form and emptiness, four corners of a diamond. This series of images is itself a “composed thing,” gathering dissimilar elements into a unified system. It suggests that the things we make are similar to things that exist beyond intention. The Buddha’s utterance helps us hear so-called “composition” and “improvisation” – or the encompassing category, “music” – as part of an even larger aggregate: that which forms and recedes.– Vijay Iyer
