Now composer and pianist Timo Andres inherits Mozart’s mantle, but with <a href="http://www.andres.com/works/mozart-coronation-concerto-re-composition/">a twenty-first century twist</a>. As Timo explains his re-imagining of K537 fills in the many incomplete sections of Mozart’s manuscript with entirely contemporary material:</p> <blockquote> <p>I approached the piece not from a scholarly or editorial perspective, but more as a sprawling playground for pianistic invention and virtuosity, taking cues from the composer-pianist tradition Mozart helped to crystallize. The left hand gets an extended catalogue of gestures [no more tasteful, 18th-century Alberti bass]. It uses imitation, counter-melodies, and canonic interplay to participate in the musical drama of the right hand [sometimes even leaping above it in register]. Harmonically, new chords both thicken and undermine the existing progressions, adding allusions to music after Mozart’s time [Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Prokofiev, Ives, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, and Bartók all make appearances].</p> </blockquote> <p>At the end of last year Andres and his colleagues from the impressive <a href="http://metropolisensemble.org/">Metropolis Ensemble</a> performed K537 at Angel Orensanz Center in NYC as an encore to their 2010 premiere of the work; the first movement from that reading is above. Timo arrives in Iowa today to begin rehearsals of the piece with the WCFSO ahead of <a href="http://concerts.jasonweinberger.com/post/12861034947">our collaboration on Saturday night</a>.</p> <p>[Other movements from the Metropolis performance are <a href="https://vimeo.com/album/1781370">here</a>]</p> </blockquote>http://steadric.tumblr.com/post/41135527727http://steadric.tumblr.com/post/41135527727Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:35:31 +0200“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy.
