These three pieces offer a look at the artistic and aesthetic concerns of three composers in the 20th Century.
America, 1924
Charles Ives – Three Quarter-Tone Pieces for Two Pianos
Charles Ives is more known for his wonderfully evocative Places in New England, but here we see him exploring the newer world of microtonal music. The pianos are tuned a quarter tone apart, so when played together, as a duet, we are offered a far wider palette of colours and sonorities.
Germany, 1954–61
Karlheinz Stockhausen – Klavierstucke X
Karlheinz Stockhausen remains one of the most influential composers of the 20th Century. In his Klavierstucke X, the boundaries of performance technique and music composition are stretched, and advises the pianist to wear half-fingered mitts to aid the performance of ‘cluster glissandi’.
Malta, 1950–60
Charles Camilleri – Times of Day
Finally the Maltese composer Charles Camilleri offers us, in Times of Day, a journey through a day filled with influences from as far a field as Asia, Africa and France, lit with the colours of the Mediterranean.
Performers: Nigel Bartram, Stanislaw Hansel, Simon-Mary Vincent and John Stead.
