Alberto Jacopucci (IT) – Sechs kleine Bagatellen im Namen Beethoven
Alberto Jacopucci about „Sechs kleine Bagatellen im Namen Beethoven“:
„The „Sechs kleine Bagatellen im Namen Beethovens“ were written for „250 piano pieces for Beethoven“, under the commission of the excellent pianist Susanne Kessel.
The Bagatella is to be understood as a musical form, while the titles refer to the Beethovenian piano works. Isolated sounds, dynamics shaking the silence, agglomerations of violent agreements, as if by magic, here comes the last theme of the opus 81 in the last Bagatelle, but deprived of its development, only timbre-dynamic embryo, as Schönberg would have said: „Yes think about how much self-control is necessary to achieve such conciseness. You can … However, to express a novel by means of a single gesture, a moment of joy by means of a single breath is only possible where there is no correspondent“..“
