Zimmermann Monologe for 2 Pianos 4 Hands
치머만 독백 (2 피아노 4 핸즈)
In January 1964 Bernd Alois Zimmermann
interrupted the completion of his
opera Die Soldaten [The Soldiers] in order to
rearrange his orchestral work Dialoge for two
pianos. Monologe resulting therefrom takes
up the original material but develops it
towards a different direction: Zimmermann`s
collage technique based on quotations
extends over the entire musical setting so that
it is not only Mozart (Piano Concerto in C
major KV 467) who has his say but
Beethoven, Messiaen and Bach as well.
`Monologe ? this
is a piece for two pianists; real monologues
of these pianists who, though
simultaneously,[…] do not always play at
the same `time`; […] losing themselves in their `own thoughts`, as it were. (Zimmermann)
