Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Par le poids de sa riche histoire et l'immensité de son répertoire, le quatuor à cordes est devenu, au cours des temps, une formation mythique, abordée par les compositeurs avec un mélange d'enthousiasme et de méfiance. Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, Bartok, Shostakovitch, et tant d'autres ont écrit d'innombrables chefs d'oeuvre pour cet instrumentarium qui, parce qu'il réunit intimité, homogénéité, et virtuosité, est propice à l'expérimentation. Ecrire pour quatuor est aujourd'hui un exercice très délicat, et ce n'est pas sans crainte que j'ai décidé d'aborder le genre en 2000. Un cycle a commencé à naître à cette période, cycle toujours incomplet en 2005. Bleu (2002) est une courte pièce énergique, jouant sur une disposition spatiale singulière des musiciens (les instrumentistes se faisant face). Du déferlement au jeu d'échos, ce mouvement repose sur une conception 'démocratique' de l'ensemble, la matière musicale étant plus fondée sur un flux cohérent que sur la hiérarchie entre un soliste et des accompagnateurs. Les fées (2004, création mondiale): il s'agit là d'un véritable scherzo, laissant la part belle à une écriture procédurale. J'ai commencé à m'intéresser depuis peu à cette dimension de l'écriture (avec Le cycle des gris pour orchestre baroque, ou avec Da Roma pour trio), afin de sortir d'une conception du langage fondée systématiquement sur le conflit entre des idées contrastées. La transformation progressive d'un élément en un autre est ici le maître mot, alors que la matière musicale subit ou des procédés d'accumulation, ou de raréfaction. L'ivresse (2003): il s'agit d'une musique de ballet, violemment contrastée, aride, virtuose. Le discours s'articule autour de quelques idées facilement repérables à l'écoute (unisson dans l'aigu, homorythmies...). Au milieu de cet océan d'incertitude et d'imprévisibilité, une séquence plus procédurale vient établir une continuité, toujours dans l'énergie, qui donne à la matière un caractère encore plus abrupt. BWV 1007 (2001): première pièce du cycle sur le plan chronologique, ce mouvement est un hommage à la Première suite de violoncelle de Jean-Sébastien Bach. Le modèle est ici toujours présent, mais sans cesse déformé, développé, si bien qu'il est pratiquement impossible de le reconnaître. Ici, le quatuor est traité de façon plus orchestrale, non dans la masse sonore, mais dans les hiérarchies, chacun des instruments prenant à tour de rôle la parole de façon soliste. Malgré la présence permanente dans mon esprit des grands modèles de l'histoire, j'ai essayé de conserver une certaine spontanéité dans mon écriture. C'est l'intuition qui a élaboré le discours, non la prédétermination. La matière a pris l'ascendant sur l'artisanat, s'exprimant malgré moi, de façon quasi-autonome.

The Full Score for Peter Maxwell Davies’ fourth in a series of ten string quartets commissioned by the Naxos Recording company first performed by the Maggini Quartet on 20th August 2004 at the Chapel of the Royal Palace Oslo Norway as part of the Olso Chamber Music Festival. Composer Note: The fourth Naxos quartet was written in January and February of 2004 with the intention of producing something lighter and much less fierce than itspredecessor an unpremeditated and spontaneous reaction to the illegal invasion of Iraq.I returned to the well-known Brueghel picture of children's games (1560 now in Vienna) which had been the inspiration for my sixthStrathclyde Concerto for flute and orchestra. These illustrations liberated my musical imagination but I feel it would limit the listener's perception to be too specific about which game relates to exactly which section of thework. Suffice it to say that there is vigorous play - leap-frog bind the devil with a cord truss wrestling - alongside quieter pastimes - masks guess whom I shall choose courting odds and evens. The single movementjuxtaposes these activities as abruptly and intimately as they occur in Brueghel. Rather as the eye is taken into different perspectives and proportions of scale within the picture taking liberties which would never be presentin for instance Brunelleschi architectural drawings so here with a constant sequence of transformation processes I have distorted the neat precise implications of modal progression expressed in the unison opening phrase(from F to B through A sharp/B flat) so that the ear is led en route into the sound equivalents of strange passageways and closed rooms: sicut exposition ludus. As work on the quartet progressed I became aware that Iwas reading into and behind the games adult motives and implications concerning aggression and war with their consequences. It was impossible to escape into innocent childhood fantasy. The nature of the F to B

Angels for String Quartet by Joan Tower was composed in 2008 and premiered on August 31 2008 in Angel Fire NM performed by the Miami String Quartet. Angels is my fourth quartet — a mediumI really love. In fact when Ida Kavafian asked me what I wanted to write for the Festival I immediately said string quartet. Having written three prior quartets and gotten to travel extensively around the world of quartets Ihave come to love the way string quartets are so deeply creative and passionate about the music they play. They are really like four 'composers' at work. Angels is about 18 minutes long in one movement and isdedicated to the people who helped my younger brother George survive a major stroke this year. They include my sister Ellen a former student of mine (Erin) a doctor (Dr. Stenehjem) a nurse (Courtney) and two real estate agents(Ann and Dale). These are caring people whose generosity of spirit and love of humanity make them very special 'angels.' I am thrilled that the Miami Quartet is giving the premiere of Angels. - Joan Tower

String Quartet No.4 by Poul Ruders dating from 2012. Programme Note: It might be of interest for some to note that a gap of only six months separates the writing of my second and third quartets (1979) but a 33 year interval stands between the third and the present piece String Quartet No. 4.Which is in five movements and is about nothing but itself. The first movement 'Adagio - Presto alla breve - Adagio' is an overture of sorts lifting the lid as it were on the odd bit of what happens later on in the other movements.A portal into: The second movement 'Vivo scherzando' which is justthat: a short (2 minutes only) fast and jocular piece leading up to the next movement: 'Adagio sognante' a slow and hushed dream-world paving the way for the pièce de resistance of the entire quartet: 'Presto alla breve' a ferociously fast tour de force for the four players who with that one under their belts can lean back a little (but only a little) and put the whole thing gently to bed in the fifth and final movement: a simple 'Adagio'. Off the record: my first string quartet (1972) has been withdrawn and is no more a fact that renders the numbering of the subsequent quartets a matter of personal conviction. Poul Ruders November 2012

part II of the cycle Profiles of Light. Par PINTSCHER MATTHIAS. 'Now II” is the second part of a triptych of chamber pieces entitled 'Profiles of Light”. The first part is written for solo piano (Now I, BA 11073), the second for unaccompanied cello. The two instruments are then combined in the concluding third part, Uriel (BA 11013). All three pieces were inspired by the Abstract Expressionist paintings of the American artist Barnett Newman. Newman's work has had a formative impact on Matthias Pintscher's artistic philosophy: what does it mean to reduce things to essentials while seeking maximum immediacy of expression? Several of Newman's paintings have a radiant light of uncommon intensity, yet resembling a dark illumination. The same sort of thing is found in the late works of Franz Schubert, where a comparable profundity and retrospective yearning likewise shine through the surface of even the brightest tonalities. This is a piece about resonances, about the inward and outward givens of existence, about life itself: 'I find the cello a highly suitable instrument for depicting such existential conditions'. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Violoncelle
