- This is the first collaboration of piano with percussion planned by K-Arts percussion studio. It is my pleasure to play together with excellent performers. Thanks for all. This project team is composed of undergraduate students.
The following is the description about this piece by Steve Reich himself.
About the piece: Quartet, when mentioned in the context of concert music, is generally assumed to mean string quartet. In my case, the quartet that has played a central role in many of my pieces (besides the string quartet) is that of two pianos and two percussion. It appears like that or in expanded form with more pianos or more percussion in The Desert Music, Sextet, Three Movements, The Four Sections, The Cave, Dance Patterns, Three Tales, You Are (Variations), Variations for Vibes, Pianos and Strings, Daniel Variations, Double Sextet, and Radio Rewrite. In Quartet, there is just this group alone: two vibes and two pianos. The piece is one of the more complex I have composed. It frequently changes key and often breaks off continuity to pause or take up new material. Though the parts are not unduly difficult, it calls for a high level of ensemble virtuosity. The form is one familiar throughout history: fast, slow, fast, played without pause. The slow movement introduces harmonies not usually found in my music. The piece is dedicated to Colin Currie, a percussionist who has broken the mold by maintaining his solo career with orchestras and recitals and also, quite amazingly, by founding the Colin Currie Group which plays whatever ensemble music he believes in. I salute him and hope others will take note. Quartet was co-commissioned by Southbank Centre, Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, Cité de la musique, and Kölner Philharmonie / KölnMusik, and is approximately 17 minutes in duration. -Steve Reich
4월 10일에 온라인 상영회를 가졌던 그 영상입니다. 올려드린 영상은 전반부 연주이고 후반까지 전부 보시고 싶으신 분들은 영상 마지막 부분에 나오는 동영상 링크를 클릭해 주세요.
꽤 오랜기간 연습했었고 작곡자의 말대로 고도의 테크닉이 필요한 앙상블 연주여서 힘들기도 했으나 보람있는 연주였습니다.
피아노 뿐 아니라 퍼커션, 이 영상에 등장하는 비브라폰 연주자들 모두 모두 화이팅!! 입니다.
올해는 사라진 2020년 공연들 모두 부활하는 한 해가 되길 바래 봅니다!!🎹🎷🎺🎸🎻📯
Beautiful
Great performance!
너무 멋져용~!
Amazing performance by all involved! The mixing is a little piano-heavy, would've loved to hear the vibraphones a bit more especially towards the end when they lead the melody, but nonetheless made their sound so delicate. The articulations are also very on-point!
Absolutely sensational performance!!
Huge thanks!! 👍
