about
"Left" by swiss-italian-german composer Claudio Puntin is dedicated to Susanne Kessel.
It is part of Vol. 2 of Susanne Kessel's global composition project
"250 piano pieces for Beethoven"
Susanne Kessel invited 250 composers from all over the world to write new piano pieces for Beethoven's 250th anniversary in the year 2020. All pieces refer to Beethoven's music and/or his life.
Susanne Kessel played the world premieres of all the piano pieces in Beethoven's birthtown Bonn. And further performances also in other cities and countries.
All pieces are published within a high quality sheet music edition by EDITIONS MUSICA FERRUM / London.
You can find the sheet music of this piece in Vol. 2 of the project's edition.
“Um den Charakter des Unausweichlichen dieser musikalischen Schicksalsempfindung spürbar zu machen, bedarf es einer rhythmisch äusserst stetigen und gleichmässigen, fast gnadenlosen Spielweise, der gleichzeitig Kraft, Zorn und Akzeptanz innewohnt. Momente durchscheinender Zartheit und des Friedens sind eingebettet und leuchten aus sich selbst heraus. Sentimentalität, geformt durch rubati, rallentandi oder accelerandi, ist nicht Teil der Idee. Der Rausch der Klänge darf und soll geschehen, wogegen gedacht formulierte Artikulation zugunsten von andersweitigen Absichten zweitrangig ist. Es geht um das Verlieren, nicht das sportliche, sondern jenes, welches das Leben zeichnet, jenes, welches in unserer Zukunft bereits geschrieben steht, jenes der Gesundheit, der Liebe, der Natur, – oder womöglich des Gehörs. Ich habe es nicht definiert.”
