こんどの定期は、ドイツ音楽。
ドイツ音楽といっても、対極の作曲家を並べています。
ロマン派代表のシューマンと、ロマン派なんてやめちまえ〜と新時代を切り開いたヒンデミット。
ロマン派って耳に心地よく作ってあるので、
まぁなんとなくクラシックとしてすごいんやろなくらいには理解できると思いますが、
ヒンデミットのような「退廃的」とされた音楽をどう捉えるか、なかなかな問題です。
テーマパークで例えてみると、
シューマンは、コテコテのデコレーションケーキの家。
ヒンデミットは、シュールなお化け屋敷。
みたいな感じ？
例えって、むつかしい。
「白鳥を焼く男」(P.Hindemith)
このタイトル、３楽章の「あなたは白鳥を焼く男ではありませんね」からきてるんだって。
まぎらわしい〜。
Next subscription concert's program consists of two German composer's music.
But these two composers's music are opposite type.
Schumann is one of the representatives of romantic composers.
On the other hand, Hindemith had tried to smash romantic music and had been involved in making new type of music at that time.
Romantic music is generally easy for listening(It doesn't mean it's easy.),
so we probably can understand that it would be great as a classical music.
Meanwhile Himdemith's music had regarded as "decadent" by Nazi regime of those days.
That's why we sometimes feel the world of his music is not easy or unfamilar.
Compare their music to an amusement park...
Schumann is like a house of classical decorated cake.
Hindemith is like a surreal haunted house.
Making an example is not easy for me.
Der Schwanendreher "The Swan turner" by P.Hindemith
This title comes from "You are not the Swan turner, are you?"-3rd movement.
Confusing!
