WIDMANN, JORG.- FANTASIE
WIDMANN FANTASIE POUR CLARINETTE SEULE.
JJörg Widmann, internationally sought-after soloist and professor of clarinet at the Musikhochschule Freiburg, shows the exquisite refinement of contemporary clarinet sound in 'Fünf Bruchstücke' (already published and available at ateliercelia.fr) for clarinet and piano (KLB 54) and in the present 'Fantasie' for solo clarinet. While noise, as a means of expression, receives much attention in 'Fünf Bruchstücke', 'Fantasie' draws heavily on the usual melodic sound of Romanticism, though this time with ironic side trips into dance music, klezmer and jazz, the clarinet's equivalent of light music.
The "Fantasia" for solo clarinet is my first real piece for my own instrument, the clarinet. With its eccentric virtuosity and its joyful and ironic fundamental character, it reflects the experience with Stravinsky's 3 Pieces for solo clarinet from 1919 and the tonal innovations that did not appear in music before Carl Maria von Weber's notation for clarinet, and takes them further in a new way. It is a small imaginary scene that unites the dialogues of different people in close proximity in the spirit of the commedia dell'arte".
- Jörg Widmann
...on the interpretation:
"It would be important to take the title completely literally, so the performer must, of course, play the piece imaginatively. The most important information about the structure: the total absence of bar lines - whenever the piece is performed for me by students or others, I am always happy for the performer's own ideas and for the musical text to be taken literally and seriously, with all its dynamic and articulation markings, and yet full of life and imagination. What I always notice, however, is that the fast rhythmic pulse part is often played as an étude, rather than imaginatively. The most important thing for me personally is to enjoy making tonal distinctions, even in spite of strict timing. Use your imagination and enjoy playing my 'Fantasia'".
