131 Piano Preludes & Petits (Scriabin, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Beneking)

clasica

Complete preludes by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski

"The Preludes show a strong influence of the Chopin tradition, nursed at the Szymanowski manor house with particular piety, as well as clear traces of familiarity with the early works of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, who shared with Szymanowski the exceptional, especially for those days, fascination with Chopin’s music. In form and texture these works seem to refer directly to the model created by Chopin; they are characterised by such features as form-shaping by initial motif transformations, polyrhythm combining “duple” and “triple” patterns; a polyphonic texture and rich ornamentation. On the other hand, Scriabin’s influence can be perceived in the avantgarde harmonic language of the preludes, rich in dissonant consonances, as well as a particular type of expressiveness – very powerful, penetrating, with a clearly indicated climax (musicological literature sometimes compares Szymanowski and Scriabin as the two representatives of the so-called Slavonic expressionism – with good reason)."

When I gazed across the baltic sea in Sellin during my holiday I felt so many different moods from feeling calm and relaxed to sensing the rough wildness of the endless sea and I simply must have written a song to capture these.... I had a small Midi keyboard with me to catch the first ideas, btw...  :-))

Sorry for the clicks in the mix... messing around with my soundcard. I guess QL is producing too much load....

Szymanowski: Prelude in B Flat Major Op. 1 No. 4

Si l’on imaginait – construction purement intellectuelle qui ne repose sur rien - que les quatre Ballades forment un ensemble, la Troisième en serait le scherzo. Des quatre, c’est la plus heureuse – même si elle est traversée d’orages et de moments plus sombres -, la plus légère dans le sens psychologique du terme. J’aime beaucoup cette pièce. Finalement, il y a relativement peu d’œuvres de Chopin heureuses et qui se terminent, comme l’Opus 47, avec un enthousiasme aussi irrésistible. 
Sur le plan de l’écriture on assiste à une considérable évolution. Parmi les quatre Ballades on tend parfois à sous-estimer ce morceau qui renferme pourtant des trouvailles harmoniques géniales, des modulations d’une hardiesse incroyable. On commence aussi à voir se dessiner, à certains moments, une polyphonie qui vient enrichir le discours et témoigne de la fréquentation de Bach. Celle-ci devient partie intégrante du langage du musicien. La phrase introductive de la 3ème Ballade est du pur Chopin, mais si l’on analyse l’écriture, on découvre une savante polyphonie avec des voix qui se répondent en miroir ; c’est extraordinaire. La leçon de Bach est totalement assimilée. La 3ème Ballade me procure la sensation d’une libération du discours.

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.

Pianist Michael Hauber  (https://soundcloud.com/michael-hauber) from Stuttgart / Germany made another lovely recording of one of my "Prelude fantaisies", its  "No. 5", a short but very delicate piece, performed on a Roland RD 170. 
He played all 8 "Preludes fantaisies", so we decided to create a new album. I am sure you will enjoy it, as it contains some of my most extraordinary works...
