lyrics

Emanuele Savagnone about his piano piece “wie ein verlorener”:

“wie ein verlorener arises from the intention of grasping the enigmatic way of expression of the last Beethoven in a fantasy sketch.

Beethoven’slast three piano sonatas were particularly taken as a reference in searching for a particular atmosphere close to that of Beethoven’s late piano works. Starting from this principle, the embodiment of the relative expressive features into personal solutions was sought.

Beethoven’s music was especially looked at in its aspect of compressed energy. A special emphasis on this aspect of Beethoven’s music was placed. By adding a component of detachment, the mentioned features were summed up in the endeavor of reconstructing a picture of them in a frozen,icy fashion.

A certain tendency of Beethoven to briefness, interruption and silence was taken over too in the conception of laconic recitatives. Special inspiration came from the suspension of harmony and musical time employed by Beethoven in several of his last works. My endeavor, through the observation of these features of the late Beethoven, was to express my musical personality under a new light. Wie ein verlorener is to be understood as a research on the musical value of the concepts of suspension, indetermination, silence.”
