The title of Lichtes Spiel might be translated as "Light Game" or "Light Play", and may be taken as a pun on the German expression "leichtes Spiel", meaning "an easy job"; or what we might call "Child's Play". Wolfgang Rihm has said that he intended it as "a transparent orchestral movement... something light, but not 'lightweight'". The result, which uses instrumental forces of Mozartian proportions, is a detailed, finely wrought score in which the composer provides fine-tuned indications of how practically every note is to be articulated.
Instructions for tempo and mood are similarly precise. For example, the notation governing the opening section: Un poco sostenuto, non troppo lento, poco à poco più scorrendo ("A bit sustained, not too slow, bit by bit more scurrying"). It is the sort of directive one sometimes finds in Beethoven, particularly in his late works.
A fair amount of variety is incorporated into this work as well, and extends to its dynamics, which occasionally reach a point of relative loudness -- most notably in a passage marked Allegro, un poco pesante ("Fast, rather heavy") about three-quarters of the way through. Nonetheless, high volume is a rarity in this piece, which is overwhelmingly skewed toward the quiet end of the sonic spectrum. In fact, the overriding dynamic indication would appear to be pianissimo: the work begins and ends at this very quiet level, and it returns throughout as a sort of reference point from which the music may depart but to which it always returns.
It's really impressive to hear a humble music from one of the 'biggest' modern componist who was for almost whole life almost avangardish. What important anyway, is that although this sounds like classical and also even though there are quotes from Mozart, this piece does never sound like a music of a somebodies' in the 18~19C. Just fantastic.
One of the best figures in modern music.There are so many interesting composers. from unsuk chin to arvo part to gubaidlina to the americans reich, adams, tsontakis .and chinary ung even a soft spot for some Rautavaara Great times we life in!!!!!
vincent stuart I agree with you so much. We are lucky. Add to it Hans Werner Henze, and Penderecki, and Peter Mennin, and Ginastera...I guess we could just go on and on. Here's one for you: ever hear of Janis Ivanovs?
Rest in peace, Rautavaara.
W. Rihm est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière !
Yes, that is true ... His music is really worth listening to, in spite of so many other contemporary "music" that is presented today. His works are definetily not intellectually constructed. It is interesting to hear him talk about his process of composition, always based on inspiration ...
if it doesn’t bother you, post here a link from an interview of his for us to check.
sounds interesting.
(engligh subs if possible)
Gorgeous! Touching! Just great music ... With a sense of humour ... (11:54) And all the little "Mozart quotes" ... (16:45) ... I really enjoyed this from the first moment ...! Here we can listen to a contemporary composer, who takes a very relaxed look at music history - and it does not matter if this is really "new stuff". All that really matters is musical invention. Great!
beautiful and elegant piece, harking back to early 20C music (Berg, Schoenberg). It has no 'concerto' character, but sounds like a improvised piece, a meditation upon how music was, so long ago.
De fato, é a obra mais idílica, tranquila, angelical de Rihm. Anne-Sophie Mutter é uma violinista sensível e de extraordinária versatilidade, abarcando universos sonoros bastante amplos de compositores românticos, modernos e contemporâneos. Sempre a admirei, desde seus tempos sob a batuta de H. von Karajan.
Great Freedom - with best wishes to Alban Berg. Back to the romantic...forward to Jörg Widmann. Fantastic interpretation. Bravo!
Wonderful music!
love it!!
it reminds to Berg lyricism…(but also Widmann is in this way). masterwork
A touch of the Pfitzner Violin Concerto, too.
Preciosa y sensual obra de este enorme compositor del que admiro su "Jadgen und Formen". Me recuerda mucho a la luminosidad y sensualidad de Schoenberg.
Muy buena obra.

Wie gut dass Sie, Herr Rihm, in die grossen romantischen Stroeme der vor und nach den beiden Weltkriegen gefertigten Musik wieder eingestiegen sind und wir mithoeren und ein bisschen miterleben koenen, was Sie bewegt und was Sie bewegen...
Ihr "Lichtes Spiel" hier ist viel viel schoener (und Gott sei Dank auch laenger) als "der geigende Eremit" von Max Reger;
[ ruclips.net/video/tlOf-NFsz50/видео.html ].
Der Vergleich mit Regers "Geigendem Eremiten" ist ziemlich seltsam. Abgesehen davon, dass mir Regers Opus erheblich besser gefällt, liegen fast 100 Jahre zwischen beiden Kompositionen. Ausserdem handelt es sich bei dem "Eremiten" um eine Tondichtung nach konkretem Vorbild, während Rihm hier freier agieren kann. Allerdings gefällt mir dieses konservative, rückwärts gewandte Stück ebenfalls ausserordentlich gut.
@@ullrichherz7053 Rihm's Konzert ist nicht rückwärts gewandt, doch vorwärts im qualitativen Sinn. Es gibt nur eine Art wirkliche Fortschritt: die qualitative.
quite good...
Thanks!!
Ur welcome. Fetzen für Akkordeon und Streichquartett [1999-2004] by Rihm coming up in a few days
Victor Alexander I was looking for it, I'll check it up!
Ist das ein 'Kinderspiel'?
nice

ruclips.net/video/tlOf-NFsz50/видео.html .... M.Reger ... das ist Musik
He failed. He allowed some haunting lyricism to creep into atonal music.
+Marek Domanski Try the string quartet no. 3 for more of this. Excellent!
Thanks very much. I will
