Miniaturen fur Klavier is a collection of small piano pieces, each one to three minutes long and of varying difficulty. They can be played as a complete cycle, as individual pieces or as a selection in any combination. The titles of the pieces indicate content and techniques used, in part based on structural principles of the film. But the music is not reducible to it - far too often a wrong track is missing. Johannes Boris Borowski (* 1979) is an outstanding voice of new music. His interpreters include the ensemble intercontemporain, the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Staatskapelle Berlin. His works were conducted by Daniel Barenboim, Zubin Mehta, Peter Eotvos, Pierre Boulez and Susanna Malkki.

This selection is intended to reveal a less-known aspect of the genius of Franz Liszt, the greatest pianist of the 19th century: as a master of piano miniatures. While his large-scale works written over many years show Liszt as a striving composer for whom the creative process was difficult, at the same time, hidden in the shadow of the monumental peaks, the 'moments musicaux' tend to capture him in the process of improvisation, at the moment when a compositional idea flashed into his mind and was first noted down. The miniatures that feature in our selection trace his creative path through six decades (1827-1885), from his youthful testing of his wings right up to his finalfarewell. The manuscript of any piece that did not later become part of a cycle or the starting-point for a larger-scale composition generally remained in the mists of obscurity as a treasured memento preserved by one of his pupils or admirers. Diese Auswahl will eine weniger bekannte Seite FranzLiszt, des größten Klaviergenies des 19. Jahrhunderts, diedes Meisters der Klavierminiaturen vorstellen. Seine übereinen langen Zeitraum vieler Jahre entstandenen Werke,wie die Klavierkonzerte, symphonische Werke oder dasChristus Oratorium, zeigen ihn als mit sich kämpfenden und schwer schaffenden Komponisten. Nicht so, die imSchatten der monumentalen Kompositionen stehenden 'moments 'usicaux“. Diese halten Liszt im Momentder Improvisation fest, lassen die kompositorischen Ideenin ihrem ersten Aufleuchten erstarren. Die Miniaturendieser Auslese führen durch die sechs Jahrzehnte seinerschöpferischen Laufbahn (1827-1885),beginnend beiden Versuchen der Jugendzeit bis zum letzten Abschied.Die Manuskripte der Stücke, die später nicht Teil einesZyklus oder Anfangspunkt einer großangelegten Kompositionwurden, versanken im Dunkel der Unbekanntheit.

Poul Ruders' MONODRAMA, dedicated to percussion virtuoso Gert Sorensen and commissioned by The Danish Radio, was written in New York in the early winter 1988 and makes the centre as well as the middle of the tri-part opus called The Drama Trilogy. All three works employ the word Drama in their title, Drama in the original meaning of the word: event. No specified event, but a premonition or omen rather, that something is afoot, a free Drama-offer from which anyone may populate the stage of his private, inner theatre.The first piece of the series DRAMAPHONIA for piano and chamber ensemble was premiered in London in the spring of 1988 by Lontano and Poul Rosenbaum. This piece is emotionally and rhythmically unstable as opposed to MONODRAMA (single-event) which is modelled from the archetypal idea of obtaining accomplishment from nothingness. The 31 instruments of the orchestra (no flutes and no violins or violas) are more or less wrapped around the solo-part to become one with that and thus emerge as one, gigantic percussion instrument. The rhythmical patterns of the orchestral part more or less follow those of the percussionpart, a single-event also on the rhythmical level.After 20 minutes climbing toward the peak of rage, the composition casts its slough and is reborn into a chorale-like march and the struggle between totally depopulated sound-scapes and ferociously roaring sub-oceanic storms begin and the piece paces toward the abyss; rage becomes despondency, New Rage as opposed to New Age, the spineless worshipper of beauty without pain.The third instalment of the DRAMA TRILOGY, the cello concerto POLYDRAMA will be premiered in Stockholm May 1990.MONODRAMA lasts aprox. 32 minutes.Poul Ruders.

Edward MacDowell can be regarded as the first great American composer, although he disliked the idea of being classified as any sort of musical nationalist. He composed a large number of orchestral works but it is the charming and unpretentious suite of musical miniatures, Woodland Sketches, that has survived as his best-known work, with To a Wild Rose being the most popular. Philip Sparke has expertly arranged this simple work for concert band. Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) kan als de eerste grote Amerikaanse componist worden beschouwd, hoewel hij zelf een hekel had aan het idee gezien te worden als nationaal musicus. MacDowell beschouwde muziek bij uitstek als een internationaletaal. Hij componeerde een grote hoeveelheid pianomuziek, evenals vele liederen en een aantal orkeststukken. Het is echter de bekoorlijke en pretentieloze suite van muzikale miniaturen, Woodland Sketches, die zijn bekendstewerk is geworden. Hiervan is het prachtige To a Wild Rose het populairst.Philip Sparke bearbeitete dieses Stück des amerikanischen Komponisten Edward MacDowell, der weit über die Grenzen seines Heimatlandes hinaus berühmt ist. To a Wild Rose wurde seinem bekanntesten Werk, den Woodland Sketches, entnommen, einer Reihe anmutiger, unprätentiöser musikalischer Miniaturen. Hieraus ist To a Wild Rose das wohl populärste Stück, dessen Qualität Kritiker zu dem Urteil bewog, es sei so gut, wie der gesamte Rest von MacDowells Klaviermusik.Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) est considéré comme le premier grand compositeur américain de l’histoire de la musique, bien qu’il refusait avec vigueur d’être associé un quelconque courant musical nationaliste. Edward MacDowell a toujours considéré que la musique était une véritable langue internationale, et ses œuvres sont fortement influencées par le style de composition européen, et plus particulièrement par l’écriture allemande. Compositeur adulé de son vivant dans son pays natal et l’étranger, il était également un pianiste exceptionnel dont la virtuosité a impressionné l’un de ses plus brillants professeurs, Franz Liszt. Edward MacDowell a composé de nombreusesœuvres pour piano, un grand nombre de lieder ainsi que plusieurs œuvres orchestrales. Mais l’œuvre la plus connue de son répertoire est une charmante suite de miniatures musicales pour piano, Woodland Sketches, une composition modeste et stylistiquement simple dont est extraite la plus célèbre de ces miniatures To a Wild Rose (“ une rose sauvageâ€). L’étonnante sincérité de la mélodie fit dire un grand critique musical que cette mélodie valait toutes les œuvres pour piano réunies de MacDowell.

'In the Mandarin he finally breaks with the romantic tradition and also turns away from the artistic endeavours typical of the turn of the century. The pantomime refl ects for the fi rst time what Bartók had learnt from folk music, refined into a personal expression, an individual phraseology. He consciously settles a score with the ideology and the style of his youth.' György Kroó.
