Ann Southam
Four in Hand
, 1981 Commissioned by: Jane Blackstone and Ruth Kazdan Premiered by: “[Southam] makes free use of a twelve-tone row to generate sonorities and gestures, yet rhythmic ‘dissonances’ unleash as much energy as do the tonal ones. The opening measures, with their unpredictable offbeat accents, tumble into a playful, rolling texture. Further eruptions of the erratic, jabbing gestures propel the music into a moment of stasis which ushers in a dreamy middle section.” From an interview with pianists Popov and Vona, cited in
MusicWorks 71
In a WGDR radio interview with Kalvos & Damian in August 1997, Southam describes her inspiration for the one-movement
Four in Hand
: “I remember when I first heard Charles Ives’
Concord Sonata
. What appealed to me was the massive physicality of it, and what it must be like to be able to play something like that - grabbing fistfuls of notes - and the immense complexity of it. […
Four In Hand
] was inspired by the sheer fun of blasting about the keyboard rather than organizing the notes according to a minimalist process.”
Ann Southam
Four in Hand
, 1981 Commandée par : Jane Blackstone et Ruth Kazdan Créée par : « [Southam] manipule une série de douze sons avec liberté afin de générer des sonorités et des gestes, pourtant des rythmes ‘dissonants’ provoquent autant d’énergie que des sons dissonants. Les premières mesures, avec ses accents inattendus sur les temps faibles, se transforment en une texture déferlante et caricaturale. De nouvelles éruptions de gestes enfoncés et irréguliers propulsent la musique vers des moments de stase qui se dirige vers une section centrale d’une atmosphère rêveuse. » Une citation tirée d’une interview avec les pianistes Popov et Vona dans
MusicWorks 71
« Lors d’une interview avec Kalvos et Damian à la radio WGDR en août 1997, Southam décrit son inspiration pour cette œuvre en un mouvement
Four in Hand
« Je me souviens de ma première écoute de la
Concord Sonata
de Charles Ives. Ce qui m’a fasciné était l’énormité de son aspect physique, et comment serait-il de jouer une œuvre d’une telle ampleur — agrippant des poignés de notes — dans toute sa complexité. […
Four In Hand
] a été inspirée par le simple plaisir d’attaquer agressivement le clavier plutôt que d’organiser les notes selon un processus minimaliste. »
