entschlackt (Piece in Two Parts) 鋼琴四重奏 朔特版

entschlackt [Piece in Two Parts]的創作初衷是為了讓音樂清晰、準確、集中，但又不流於表面的'簡單'。這首樂曲的'淨化'或'潔淨'特徵在其音色和形式上都很明顯--使用的樂器組合產生了相當獨特的色彩。從獨奏到四重奏，四種樂器的每一種可能的組合都被排列在短小的樂段中（除了幾個重疊的段落）。兩個樂章很不對稱：第一樂章幾乎完全是期待性和準備性的；然而，第二樂章閃過得相當快，沒有提供一個 "充分 "的延續。標題中添加的 "兩部曲"、陣容、二部曲形式以及某些音樂細節都暗示了對 Stefan Wolpe 晚期作品的借鑒。本傑明-史懷

原文簡介:
entschlackt [Piece in Two Parts] resulted from an attempt to write music that is clear, precise and concentrated without being superficially ’simple‘. The ‘purged’ or ‘cleansed‘ character of the piece is noticeable in its sound – using a combination of instruments that produces rather distinct colours – as well as in its form. Each possible combination of the four instruments from solo to quartet is arrayed in short sections (except for a few overlapping passages). The two movements are quite asymmetrical: the first one’s character is almost thoroughly expectant and preparative; however, the second, flashing by quite rapidly, does not provide an ‘adequate‘ continuation. The addition “Piece in Two Parts” in the title, the line-up, the bipartite form and also certain musical details imply a reference to the later works of Stefan Wolpe. Benjamin Schweitzer
