about
"Wiesengrund" by netherlands composer Ivo van Emmerik is part of Vol. 2 of Susanne Kessel's global composition project
"250 piano pieces for Beethoven"
250 composers from all over the world are invited 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 plays 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.
"Wiesengrund“ wurde geschrieben, um Beethovens Musik und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Musikgeschichte zu feiern. Meine Absicht war es, die großen Kontraste und den erhabenen Charakter seiner Musik innerhalb einer Zeitspanne von vier Minuten in meine eigene Musik zu übersetzen. Wie der langsame Satz aus Opus 111 ist mein Stück aus einer Reihe von Variationen aufgebaut, jedoch ohne eigentliches Thema. Obwohl ich nicht beabsichtigt hatte, aus seinen Kompositionen zu zitieren, erschien während des Komponierens plötzlich das Hauptmotiv der Arietta. Ich habe versucht, viele Beethovensche Affekte zu verwenden: Robustes, Lyrisches, Stille, Kontraste zwischen den Registern, usw., kurz: die ganze Wiese, auf der wir Komponisten-Schafe seit fast zwei Jahrhunderten weiden."
"Wiesengrund" is dedicated to Susanne Kessel.
