Two musical versions of Goethe's poem
'Wanderers Nachtlied' ("Ein gleiches"). The introductory quotation to the section 'Ein gleiches' reads: "..., so entsteht doch die eigentliche harmonische Wirkung nur alsdann, wenn alle Farben nebeneinander im Gleichgewicht angebracht sind." ("...only then does the effect of harmony proper ensue if all the colours are arrenged side by side in a state of balance.") (Goethe: Farbenlehre, Didaktischer Teil, §885) 'Ein gleiches' has been composed by means ot the composition programme "Projekt 1" (pdf) by Gottfried Michael Koenig, to whom the work is dedicated. (to be found only in the string sextet

This composition for piano is
dedicated to Prf. Dr. Bazon Brock. It refers to an interview
with Dr. Bazon Brock: [...] Ich saß also am
Fluegel in der Aula des Kaiser-Karl-Gymnasiums in Itzehoe
und machte Musik, wie sie mir richtig zu sein schien. Acht
Jahre später habe ich tatsächlich solche Musik als
Komponistenleistung kennengelernt. Das hat mich ungeheuer
stolz gemacht, obwohl im eigentlichen Sinne musikalisch
voellig ungebildet, war es mir gelungen, produktiv zu
musizieren. Daß ich das als Schueler an den
Nachmittagen in der Aula aus meiner eigenen Bewegtheit
heraus zustandegebracht habe, war ein musikalisches
Schluesselerlebnis bis auf den heutigen Tag. [...]"
("...so I was sitting at the grand piano in the assembly
hall of the Kaiser-Karl-Gymnasium in Itzehoe, making music
that I imagined to be just right. Some years later, I got to
know such music as a kind created by a composer. This made
me exceedingly proud; although entirely uneducated, in
strictly musical terms, I had succeeded in making music
creatively. For me to have achieved this out of my own state
of animation during the afternoon in that hall, was a key
musical experience which has influenced my work to this very
day...") |
