Light and Shade – Concert of the Bartók Music School Ensemble
This programme is held in Hungarian.
Three composers who had a defining influence on music history, three completely different outlooks.
Perceiving the world – through three different refractions.
WEBERN – Alongside Schönberg and Berg, as a leading figure of the Second Viennese School he resolutely followed his own path, creating a personal mode of expression with which he condensed musical forms and gestures in an essential way into the shortest possible durations. Yet the suggestive expressive power of the Six Orchestral Pieces seems inversely proportional to the compactness of the movements. The composition, originating from the composer's early creative period, already entirely bears Webern's defining stylistic traits.
BARTÓK – He found his characteristic voice in inspiration drawn from nature and the naturalness of folk music, which permeates his entire oeuvre. In the piano cycle In the Open Air these sources blend in a particularly singular way with a refined classical manner of expression. The movement The Music of the Night is one of Bartók's most beautiful depictions of nature.
DEBUSSY – His rebellion against German music, and his attraction to Symbolist poetry and Impressionist painting, prompted the formation of an entirely unique style that had a great influence on his contemporaries. The Petite Suite, in its simple grandeur, carries the evocative mode of expression that characterizes Debussy's works. The movement titles (Boating, Parade, Minuet, Ballet) seem to conjure scenes painted by Monet and Renoir.
The Bartók Conservatory – New Music event has been running for its thirteenth year at the Academy of Music's practice school, the Bartók Conservatory. As an unofficial curriculum, the program's aim is to broaden student musicians' musical horizons and prepare their expressive toolkit for interpreting contemporary music. The organizers consider it important to involve as many students as possible in the various programs, which are then performed as part of a spring project day. The events — which are mostly built on looser themes — see the young musicians preparing for months.
