For Viola and Cello. Published 2008. Dedicated to Garth Knox and Rohan de Saram. First performance. Intrasonus Festival Venice, 3 May 2008. "This music was composed during my DAAD residency in Berlin in October — November 2007. If I were to describe it in one sentence, I would say that it is based on the idea of 'two things seen. heard as one'. "a2. a due. is a well-known term to musicians. it is often found in orchestral scores indicating a given passage that is to be played by two instruments of the same family. Although violin and cello could well be regarded as 'first cousins' of the string family, the literal implementation of the term a2 as a 'compositional strategy' would have been too much. for a piece of chamber music consisting of no more than two players. Not surprisingly, this never happens in this work. in fact, the opposite is true. regardless of how it appears on paper. on one or two staves. , the music for each instrument is constantly based on two layers. "This musical 'interpretation' of the title gives an indication as to how the textural format of the piece operates. However, this was by no means the only thought that 'preoccupied' my mind whilst composing this music. Berlin made a profound impression on me. The remnants of the wall in Bernauer Straße and the cobbled two-stone line tracing the wall across where it once stood — a clear reminder of what not so long ago there were two different worlds in one city — provoked a strikingly dramatic effect. Border, death-strip, killing, and escape to freedom had a particularly evocative resonance, especially of the time when I lived for three years in a remote town in Southern Albania right at the border with Greece. There, there was a nameless road whose destination the authorities did not want you to know, but the locals called it the 'death-road'. "In no way programmatic, in this context, the extra-musical dimension of the principal idea is very much part of the piece. Here, the musical and extra-musical interpretations cannot easily be separated, for they are two parts of the same thing. a2. "As if to add another dimension to this idea, there are two versions of this piece. for viola & cello and violin & cello. The first version was premiéred by Garth Knox and Rohan de Saram at the 2008 Intrasonus Festival in Venice.

Vir altviool en tjello. Gepubliseer 2008. Dedicated to Garth Knox and Rohan de Saram. Eerste opvoering. Intrasonus Festival Venesië, 3 Mei 2008. "Hierdie musiek is gekomponeer tydens my DAAD verblyf in Berlyn In Okt - November 2007. As ek dit te beskryf in een sin, sou ek sê dat dit gebaseer is op die idee van 'twee dinge gesien. gehoor as 'n mens. "A2. 'n gevolg. is 'n bekende term te musikante. dit is dikwels in orkestrale tellings dui op 'n gegewe teks wat deur twee instrumente van dieselfde familie gespeel word, is. Hoewel viool en tjello kon sowel as 'eerste neefs' van die string familie beskou word, sou die letterlike implementering van die term a2 as 'n 'komposisionele strategie "te veel gewees het. vir 'n stukkie van kamermusiek bestaande uit nie meer as twee spelers. Nie verrassend nie, dit gebeur nooit in hierdie werk. in werklikheid, die teenoorgestelde is waar. ongeag van hoe dit op papier verskyn. op een of twee stokke. , Die musiek vir elke instrument is voortdurend gebaseer op twee lae. "Dit musikale se interpretasie 'van die titel gee 'n aanduiding van hoe die tekstuur formaat van die stuk bedryf. Dit was egter geensins die enigste gedagte dat my verstand 'besig', terwyl die musiek komponeer. Berlyn het 'n diepgaande indruk op my. Die oorblyfsels van die muur in Bernauer Straße en die geplaveide twee klip lyn opsporing van die muur in waar dit eens gestaan ​​- 'n duidelike herinnering van wat nie so lank gelede was daar twee verskillende wêrelde in een stad - uitgelok 'n treffende dramatiese effek. Grens, dood-strook, moord, en ontsnap na vryheid het 'n besonder suggestief resonansie, veral van die tyd wanneer Ek het vir drie jaar in 'n afgeleë dorp in Suider Albanië regs by die grens met Griekeland. Daar was egter 'n naamlose pad waarvan bestemming die owerhede nie wil hê jy moet weet, maar die inwoners het dit die 'dood-pad'. "In geen manier programmatiese, in hierdie konteks, die ekstra-musikale dimensie van die skoolhoof idee is 'n groot deel van die stuk. Hier kan die musikale en buite-musikale interpretasies nie maklik geskei word, want hulle is twee dele van dieselfde ding. a2. "Asof 'n ander dimensie te voeg tot hierdie idee, is daar twee weergawes van hierdie stuk. vir altviool. Die eerste weergawe is première deur Garth Knox en Rohan de Saram by die 2008 Intrasonus Festival in Venesië.
