Pablo de Sarasate composed four books of Spanish Dances between 1878 and 1882 — concertized pieces truffles were very popular (and lucrative) at the time. This is the first of these books and contains the Malaguena and the Habanera.

This four-language dictionary of music contains more than 4000 terms and is intended for musicians, teachers, students and amateurs who wish to understand and use specialist foreign terms. The book is not academic in scope- it is based on practical experience, derived from the examination of directions given on a large number of orchestral scores, piano pieces and transcriptions, and instrumental parts. In order to complement and clarify this vocabulary, specialist dictionaries and reference books have been consulted. Contemporary musical terms taken, for example, from the fields of jazz, pop and electronic music, have also been included. / Livre

Palle MikkelborgGOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART2002for violin harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Båtnes og Helen DaviesForord l ProgramnoteEn solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i 'spiritualbooks' og i vinduet faldt mine øjne på et citat som øjeblikkeligt ramte mig følelsesmæssigtstærkt- og jeg følte at jeg havde fundet titlen på den komposition jeg på tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lød:'going to pieces ... without falling apart'Tre temaer og relaterede skalaer baseret på henholdsvis Elise Båtnes' Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne har været afgørende for dele af tonesproget og forekommer både ielose-up ogmere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit.Det barnlige det enkle det her-og-nu naive det umiddelbare kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er særligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det også kunne blive det?) men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at tænke på 'atblive som barn på ny' atter at være u-bange at turde tro på det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er ønsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig 'meditiations-rejse'; i starten en tro på egen ro langsomt breder uroensig og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv 'danse' en rituel dans med åndehuller her og der; ogfristelsen til at rive forhænget væk og go to pieces og angsten for måske at miste sig selv undervejs breder sig. Dog til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen værd og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstændigt at givesig hen dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful med kærlig hånd villade dig'go to pieces ... without falling apart'Men selvklart er mit egentlige ønske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordløse liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse.Palle Mikkelborg
