Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)Tetragrammaton : for violin and piano / music by Larry Sitskyby Larry Sitsky (1987)
|
Product details
In 1986 I had sketched out two works, both left incomplete, and
both notionally for violin
and piano. The sound of a piano with a solo instrument was never
a favourite with me,
and, besides, one of these abandoned works eventually turned out
to be a chamber work:
"The Secret Gates of the House of Osiris". Thus, what was
originally in four movements
finished up as twelve, and what was for violin and piano became
music for flute, viola,
cello and piano. The extended colour and development of the basic
materials in the
quartet seemed to answer my dissatisfaction with the original
concept.
However, when the idea of composing a special piece to honour
Jan's 70th birthday arose,
I went back to my 1986 sketches. It seemed to me that with some
reworking, the original
idea might be worth salvaging. The "Tetragrammaton" is like a
compressed version of the
later quartet; it is, too, by its very nature, more intimate and
introverted.
