Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ has been named after John Donne’s poem of the same name. This English poet (1572-1631) wrote an entire series of elegies, each with its own theme. Jealousy can trigger various emotions, ranging from disappointment, grief, or regret, to madness and anger. All these emotions have been incorporated into this composition. Jacob de Haan was inspired by three different works of art: a poem (the aforementioned poem by John Donne), a painting by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (Jealousy in the Garden) and an old French chanson about jealousy (Je ne l’ose dire) by the sixteenth-century French composer Pierre Certon. The music refers repeatedly to thischanson - sometimes through key notes from the melody that serve as the starting point for new, isolated themes and sometimes through quotations of the original version

Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ werd genoemd naar het gelijknamige gedicht van John Donne. Jaloezie (Jealousy) roept een hele rij emoties op. Van teleurstelling, treurnis en verdriet tot boosheid en woede. Het gedicht Jealousy van Donneen ook het gelijknamige schilderij van Edvard Munch inspireerden Jacob de Haan om dit werk te componeren. En het is hem goed gelukt om alle emoties die bij jaloerse gevoelens horen muzikaal te verklanken! Een treffend concertwerkdat u niet mag missen…

Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ wurde nach dem gleichnamigen Gedicht von John Donne benannt. Eifersucht (Jealousy) vermag eine ganze Reihe von Emotionen auszulösen - von Enttäuschung, Trauer, Bedauern bis hin zu Ärger und Wut. Jacob de Haan ist es gelungen, all diese Gefühle in Musik umzusetzen. Ein bewegendes Konzertwerk, das Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen sollten.

Elegy I: Jealousy (Élégie 1 : La Jalousie) a emprunté son nom au poème éponyme de John Donne. La jalousie peut déclencher de nombreuses émotions qui vont de la déception, de la peine et du regret la colère ou la folie. Toutes ces émotions ont trouvé leur place dans cette composition, inspirée de trois formes d’art différentes : la poésie (Elegy I), la peinture (La Jalousie - Edvard Munch) ; la chanson (Je ne l’ose dire - Pierre Certon). La résonance affective et émotionnelle est forte. En un instant, l’auditeur est touché par ce qu'il entend.

'The Two Elegies are typified by Romantically exuberant, orchestral and full piano writing. Elegy No.1 was written in February 1908. The ternary reprise form is concealed by the voices in Bartók's varied piano writing that proliferate like luxuriant foliage. In the 'Grave' theme of the first section an important role is given to jumps of open fourths (presumably based on his recent folk music experiences), and these are also to be found in the fugato reprise of the theme. Elegy No.2 was written almost two years later, in December 1909. The entire composition is defined by the five falling notes that Bartók fashioned by inverting the Stefi Geyer motif also found in ElegyNo.1. Paired with this motivic unity is a harmonic world reflecting Debussy's influence, and piano writing reminiscent of the Romantic repertoire.' (HCD 32524 Bartók New Series Vol. 24, István G. Németh).
