馬廷森談音樂 Rolf Martinsson on music 問
音樂，於你是甚麼？
Q
To you, what is music?
答
音樂是美，是感受，是與人溝通的最好的工 具，沒有其他東西可以將之取代。當覺得難 以言詮時，音樂就是表達自己的一種方式。
A
Music is beauty, feelings and the finest tool for communication to people in a way no other tools can copy or replace. It is also a way to express yourself where your words ends.
問
在創作過程中，你通常尋找和探索的會是 甚麼？
Q
What do you usually seek and explore in your creative process?
答
首先，我會尋找創作的構想，接著是作品的 曲式、時間的安排與比例，繼而尋求不同樂 器的組合以及所衍生的音色。我亦有很多來 自和聲的想法，基於這些題材，從而衍生出 旋律、節奏及其他的變數。
A
First of all I seek an idea for the piece, then form, timing and proportion, followed by colours through instrumentation and various instrument combinations. I also base many ideas on harmony and from these platforms I derive melody, rhythm and other parameters.
問
你的音樂主要受到甚麼影響？
Q
What are the major influences in your music?
答
作曲家如史達拉汶斯基、拉威爾、伯格、荀 伯格、武滿徹、康高特，以及當代的作曲家 如林特伯格、莎莉雅浩及阿德斯。曾與我合 作的獨奏家亦是我協奏曲及獨奏曲創作的思 考源泉。其中一個美妙的例子是和瑞典女高 音拉爾臣的合作，我從她身上學到很多有關 歌唱的知識及經驗，以之為她撰寫了六首作 品(包括聲樂與樂團\室樂團\小交響樂團的作 品，全部均題獻給她及由她首演)。拉爾臣 亦曾於歐洲不同的場地演唱我的作品(聲樂 與樂團的作品)，包括阿姆斯特丹皇家音樂 廳及瑞士蘇黎世音樂廳，她亦將於維也納音 樂廳及另外與墨爾本交響樂團合作演出我的 作品。
A
Composers like Stravinsky, Ravel, Berg, Schönberg, Takemitsu and Korngold but also more contemporary composers of course such as Magnus Lindberg, Kaija Saariaho and Thomas Adès. I’m also very dedicated to my soloists which are part of my thinking and creating in concertos and solo pieces. A wonderful example is my longstanding collaboration with brilliant Swedish soprano Lisa Larsson from whom I have learnt a lot about singing, experiences which I have invested in new pieces for her (soprano and orchestra/chamber orchestra/sinfonietta), six pieces in all, dedicated to and premiered by her. She has performed my vocal works (soprano/orchestra) music all over Europe in venues such as Concertgebouw, Amsterdam and Tonhalle, Zürich and will soon perform my pieces also in Konzerthaus, Vienna and in Melbourne with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
問
你會怎樣形容當代音樂在當世生活中的 角色？
Q
How would you describe the role of contemporary music in our contemporary lives?
答
如果需要選擇的話，在歷史上當代音樂會比 古典音樂較為重要⋯⋯由現世的作曲家所撰 寫的當代音樂為我們這個時代提出新的疑問， 而這些音樂對比起從前為人熟悉的作品， 更能以完全不一樣的方法帶給觀眾驚喜。
A
Contemporary is more important than classical music in history if you have to choose… contemporary music asks new questions from our time, written by living composers and the music will be able to surprise an audience in a completely another way than the old predictable and so often heard historical works.
問
對於初次接觸當代音樂的觀眾，你有甚麼 建議？
Q
Do you have any advice for our audience who is new to contemporary music?
答
觀眾要仔細聆聽，要抱有好奇心，要想知道 每首音樂新作背後都有一位當代作曲家，他 們有 對音樂的想像和強烈信念，而不惜花 上長年累月的時間去創作、將腦海中的樂思 轉化為音樂，為這些音樂配器、編寫樂譜； 完成作品後心中又忐忑不安，反思作品是否 優異又或者能否反映出最初的想法等。
A
Listen with open ears, be curious and consider that there is a living composer and his/her imagination behind every new piece and that they believe so strongly in their musical idea that they have decided to spend months to create a piece out of it, in all means a big effort when it comes to formulate the idea into music, orchestrate, edit the score, write parts and try to handle their uncertainty regarding when the piece is really finalized, if the piece is good enough, if the piece will be able to reflect the initial musical idea…

節目介紹 今晚的音樂會，選了來自四個世紀的四首作品。上下半場開頭的作品都超越現 下，朝向魔幻或未知的世界。上半場由第一首作品是莫扎特在1791年創作的最 後一部歌劇《魔笛》，一躍而至約220年後瑞典作曲家馬廷森寫於2011年的低音 大提琴協奏曲。下半場回到20世紀早期艾夫斯提出的著名的音樂問題，再上追 100年到舒伯特的第三交響曲。在地理上則繞了一個大圈，以維也納始，經瑞 典和美國，再以維也納終。 這次音樂會中幾位已故的作曲家之間有些吊詭的聯繫—他們去世後的名聲都比 在生時要響亮。大家都知道莫扎特在經歷了異常多產而極其短暫的一生後，死 時一貧如洗。而他的英年早逝，也引來眾說紛紜。有人訛稱他是被薩里埃利 （Salieri）所毒殺，這則故事又被彼得．謝弗（Peter Shaffer）大獲好評的舞台劇 作和電影《莫扎特傳》（Amadeus）加以渲染，並認為莫扎特在最後幾個月作 品極少，精神也甚沮喪。其實只要稍稍查看事實，便能駁斥這種看法。 舒伯特31歲便去世了，比莫扎特還早了五年。他在生時甚至沒有莫扎特般成 功，也不像莫扎特那樣獲得贊助；相同之處是他也認識薩里埃利。在他的有生 之年，他的交響曲沒有一部被正式公演，而他的許多作品都是在他死後才出 版的。 在大西洋的另一端，約一個世紀後，作為美國其中一位最有創意、最獨特的作 曲家，艾夫斯在曲種和理論上都揚棄了歐洲的傳統，但即使在他的祖國，他也 是很後期才受注意和讚賞。他的祖先約在250年前來到美國，第一位是在1635 年抵達波士頓。他的父親是一位樂隊領班，雖然艾夫斯跟隨他的腳步，修讀音 樂，畢業後他卻將作曲視為個人嗜好，加入保險行業並卓有成就。他的音樂在 當時是屬於極創新，涉及的技巧在約50年後才成為「前衛音樂」的常用手法， 例如多調性、音簇（tone clusters）、微音程（microtones）等，這些技巧在他 去世後才真正被人了解。艾夫斯和他的父親都十分迷醉於音樂的撞擊這一簡單 的概念，就如兩隊銀樂隊在近距離同時奏著不同的音樂那樣。艾夫斯存世的作 品包括四部有編號的交響曲（若加上他的《新英格蘭假日交響曲》便是五部， 也有證據顯示他把《新英格蘭的三個地方》也視為一首交響曲）以及多首歌曲 （約140首）、室樂和合唱作品。 10
艾夫斯其中一首最著名的、最引人入勝的作品是《未解答的問題》，它的配器別 具一格，包括了弦樂、長笛四重奏和小號獨奏。談到非比尋常的器樂類別，低 音大提琴協奏曲肯定是少見的一種。魯伊斯在三年前曾和香港小交響樂團合作 演奏狄達斯多夫的降E大調低音大提琴協奏曲，我們很高興再次邀請他蒞臨，為 大家演奏當代傑出的瑞典作曲家馬廷森的作品。

馬廷森（1956年生）
第一低音大提琴協奏曲， 作品87（2011）— 香港首演 馬廷森的低音大提琴協奏曲，由奧斯陸愛樂樂團委 約創作，題獻給獨奏家史帝弗（Dan Styffe）。首演 在2011年4月7日在奧斯陸音樂廳舉行，指揮是薩 拉斯蒂（Jukka-Pekka Saraste）。正如馬廷森下面 所言，原作是寫給較低音的低音大提琴，後來他為 魯伊斯另寫了較高音的低音大提琴版本，並於 2012年10月21日，在委內瑞拉卡拉卡斯的音樂社 會運動中心西蒙．玻利瓦爾音樂廳首演，由盧比 斯-高美斯（Manuel López-Gómez）指揮西蒙．玻 利瓦爾青年交響樂團演奏。 馬廷森對協奏曲有以下的說明：
馬廷森為這首單樂章的作品加上了大量節奏標號， 形成一系列急速變化的段落。協奏曲以樂隊最低音 的樂器幽深地展開（鋼琴、低音單簧管以及低音巴 松管，豐富了弦樂的音色），由此豎琴的滑奏帶出 了較高音的樂器，引領向一段悸動的高潮，然後漸 漸消退，讓低音大提琴首度登場。它像作品的開頭 一樣，也是以最低音展開。一段綿長而深沉的獨奏 華采段呈現，隨著音域攀高，變得更為抒情，有時 則較為熱切。樂隊忽而插入，將情感熱度提高，接 著慢慢減退，讓低音大提琴再次現身。在此協奏曲 的兩個組成部份才合二為一，樂隊偶而以鮮明的浪 漫氣息摻入，而獨奏者仍保持著較為內斂、哀怨的 調子。樂隊另一波的激情再次散落，然後是低音大 提琴的撥奏和泛音，令情調保持安祥和充滿沉思意 味，豎琴和纏繞的弦樂與之相應，接著來到另一節 華采段，在中間加入了獨奏中提琴，交織出一段二

Programme Notes Four works and four centuries come together in tonight’s concert, with each half opening with a work that looks beyond the known world and into the realms of either magic or the unknown. While the first half jumps forward from Mozart’s last opera in 1791 some 220 years to Swedish composer Rolf Martinsson’s 2011 Double Bass Concerto, the second half steps back from Charles Ives’ famous musical interrogative from the early 20th century about 100 years to Schubert’s Third Symphony, taking us geographically full circle back to Vienna, after our sojourns to Sweden and America. There are some intriguing connections to be made between our deceased composers, in that their posthumous standing is so much greater than their renown in their day. Everyone knows that Mozart died a pauper at the end of an extraordinarily productive but frighteningly short life. Furthermore, the intrigues that surrounded his untimely death (particularly the lasting, but erroneous one, that Salieri poisoned him, a fact wonderfully embellished by Peter Shaffer in his successful stage play and film Amadeus) perhaps have inculcated a general view that Mozart’s last months were unproductive and desperate, even though even just a cursory at the facts contradicts this view. Schubert – who died at only 31 (five years younger than Mozart) – did not even have any of the successes, nor major patronage, that Mozart did, although he too knew Salieri. Indeed none of his symphonies were professionally performed during his lifetime, and most of his works were only published long after this death. Across the Atlantic, a century or so later, Charles Ives was, quite simply, one of the most original and individualistic of American composers, eschewing the European traditions of both genre and theory, even though it was only late in life that his music was recognised, including in his homeland. His family could trace its American roots back nearly 250 years – the first Ives to arrive in Boston was in 1635 – and, although he followed his father, a bandmaster, into studying music, after graduation Charles Ives kept composition as a private hobby while becoming successful in insurance. That his music was some of the most innovative ever conceived, investigating techniques that would not become the common prerogative of the avant-garde until some 50 years later (such as polytonality, tone clusters, microtones) has only really come to light since his death. What really fascinated both Ives and his father was the simple idea of clashing music as when two marching bands were in earshot both playing different music. He left four numbered symphonies (five, counting his New England Holidays Symphony, and there is 15
evidence to suggest he considered Three Places in New England a symphony), many songs (some 140), chamber and choral works. One of Ives’ most evocative and famous works is The Unanswered Question with its unusual scoring – strings, flute quartet and solo trumpet. And talking of unusual instrumentations, concertos for double bass are one of the rarer kind. But it is a delight to welcome back Edicson Ruiz, after his performance of Dittersdorf’s E-flat Concerto three years ago, for a modern work he has made his own, by prolific contemporary Swedish composer, Rolf Martinsson.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
The Magic Flute Overture, K620 Mozart’s last year – he died on 5 December 1791 – saw the completion of the sublime clarinet concerto, the sixth string quintet and two operas – Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) and La Clemenza di Tito, both premiered in September 1791, the former in Vienna, the latter in Prague. Mozart’s Requiem was the only main work that was not complete, but is a major staple of the repertoire even in its various completions by others. While La Clemenza di Tito was an opera seria in expected form, Die Zauberflöte was a real departure for Mozart. It was a Singspiel written for his friend from Salzburg (they used to play skittles together) and fellow Mason, Emanuel Schikaneder, who owned the 1000-seat Theater auf der Wieden, a popular music-hall venue, built just outside Vienna’s city walls. Schikaneder had toured productions of Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Richard III and Othello and promoted the widest range of events at his theatre, the most popular of which were the “magic operas”. It is into this tradition that Die Zauberflöte falls and Schikaneder, in writing the libretto simply took ingredients from various sources, including Joseph Hiller’s Lisuart und Dariolette, a collection of folk-tales edited by Christopher W ieland (who had translated Shakespeare into German), specifically the story entitled Lulu, or the Magic Flute, as well as the Abbé Jean Terrasson’s ancient Egyptian story, 16
Sethos. This was Mozart’s first German opera since he had written Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) when he first arrived in Vienna some nine years before, and he obviously revelled in its variety of styles which also included barely disguised commedia dell’arte characters (here the bird couple, Papageno and Papagena). The story, set in Egypt, also includes religious ceremony, very close to the Masonic rituals prevalent at the time. All in all, it turned out to be Mozart’s most successful opera, with 197 performances in the two years following his death. In respect of the overture, the plot seems barely relevant, as there is only one phrase reused in the opera itself (this is the three chords before the development, which presages their use prior to the Act II trials). For the record, the plot tells the story of how Prince Tamino falls in love with the daughter of the Queen of the Night, Pamina, and how Papageno finds Papagena. Firstly we believe that the Queen of the Night is the wronged party, but by the end of Act I we realise that Sarastro is the goody and the Queen the baddy. Sarastro is the head of the brotherhood, which is based solely on love, and both Tamino and Papageno have to go through a trial of silence to prove themselves worthy, while Pamina is threatened repeatedly by the evil Monostatos. Eventually, good defeats evil, light chases away the dark and, with the Queen, her three ladies and Monostatos all defeated, the couples are reunited and a general celebration ensues. The overture starts with grand chords, which are, as much in this opera, repeated three times. Slowly, solemnly and sonorously the strings
join in, in the form of an extended introduction, with distinctive trombone answering chords before the famous, brilliant fugue enters. These two thematic strands characterise the whole of the overture, with the wind chords returning to herald the development, which is based on the fugal theme. As the Viking Opera Guide (Penguin, 1993, p709) succinctly puts it: “the entire sublime amalgamation of sonata form and fugue is a metaphor for the opera’s mingling of narrative with philosophy.”

Rolf Martinsson (born 1956)
Double Bass Concerto No 1, Op 87 (2011) – Hong Kong première Commissioned by the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and dedicated to its original soloist, Dan Styffe, Rolf Martinsson’s Double Bass Concerto was premiered on 7 April 2011 at Oslo’s Concert Hall, conducted by Jukka-Pekka Saraste. As Martinsson himself explains below, the original is for a low double bass, and he created a version for high double bass, specifically for Edicson Ruiz, who premiered it almost exactly five years ago on 21 October 2012 at Caracas’ Simón Bolívar Hall, Venezuela’s National Center for Social Action Through Music with Simón Bolívar Youth Symphony Orchestra under Manuel López-Gómez. Martinsson writes about his concerto: “I have mainly concentrated on writing in such a way that the double bass is not drowned out by the orchestra, which is perhaps the greatest challenge, apart from the artistic aspect, when it comes to composing a double bass concerto. This has involved focusing to a large extent on dynamic balance, details of instrumentation, types of texture, and
especially on form and elements of form. An obvious formal element is the solo cadenza. There are a number of different sections in the concerto where the bass plays all alone. In another part there is a duet with a solo viola and in still other parts the bass plays high above a muted string orchestra. I have also utilised a technique that is similar to a concerto grosso/concertino form in which a small ensemble accompanies the soloist alternately with tutti sections where the soloist does not play. Finally, I have also composed substantial orchestral sections in order to create a balance in the overall form. “With this as a basis, my goal has been to create varied music in the different sections, music that takes advantage of both the lovely melodies in the high register of the double bass and the slightly rougher passages in the middle and bass registers. The solo part is spiced with pizzicato, flageolets, doublestopping, etc, in various places in the work. On request from Edicson Ruiz, I have created a high-tuned version (G-C-F-B-flat) of the solo part which got its première in Caracas with Ruiz and the Orquesta Sinfónica de la Juventud Venezolana Simón Bolívar in October 2012.” Cast in a single span, with a series of quick-changing sections marked by Martinsson’s plethora of tempo markings, the concerto opens darkly on the lowest instruments of the orchestra (piano, bass clarinet and contrabassoon adding timbre to the stings), out of which a harp glissando introduces higher instruments that leads to a throbbing climax that dies away for the double bass’ first entry which, like the opening of the work, is in the lowest register. A ruminative extended solo cadenza unfolds, becoming more lyrical as it reaches higher and, at times, more fervent. The orchestra bursts in raising the emotional pitch, from which it slowly subsides to allow the double bass back in; only now do the two constituent parts of the concerto coalesce together, the orchestra occasionally bursting in with overtly romanticism, while the soloist sticks to a more 17
intimate, mournful track. Another wave of orchestral virtuosity again eventually subsides, then bass pizzicato and harmonics keep the mood calm and contemplative, with harp and filigree strings answering, before another solo cadenza, in the midst of which a solo viola joins for an intertwining duet. Resonant solo pizzicato turns to an aching solo line swathed in a balm of string harmonies and harp arpeggios to form a beautiful, slow central section, later joined by the English horn. Again a searing climax, Mahlerian in its power, builds, though this time it is the celesta and solo viola that restore equilibrium. A further solo cadenza leads to the final section: sudden brass fanfare outbursts punctuate a more forceful soloist: one egging the other on and leading to the roller coaster ride to the thrilling finish. Instrumentation of this work Strings: 1st & 2nd violins, violas, cellos, double basses Woodwinds: flute (1), flute/piccolo (1), oboe (1), oboe/English horn (1), clarinet (1), clarinet/bass clarinet (1), bassoon (1), bassoon/contrabassoon (1) Brass: horns (2), trumpets (2), trombones (2) Percussion: timpani, vibraphone, glockenspiel, crash cymbals, suspended cymbal, tam-tam, bass drum Harp, piano/celesta Solo double bass
Charles Ives (1874–1954)
The Unanswered Question In 1906 Ives composed two pieces for chamber music, paired together as: I A Contemplation of a Serious Matter or The Unanswered Perennial Question; and II A Contemplation of Nothing Serious or Central Park in the Dark in “The Good Old Summer Time”. The latter describes, by way of slowly moving, repetitive strings at one tempo against woodwinds plus two pianos, playing such popular tunes as ragtime at varying tempi, the myriad sounds drifting 18
across New York’s famous park. In The Unanswered Question Ives uses three separate elements to pit against each other. Again there is the slow-moving string background, in conventional key, over which the trumpet asks the titular question seven times – while in between each question four flutes (in tonight’s performance, two flutes and alternative instruments – one oboe and one clarinet – as suggested by the composer, are used) offer ever faster, louder and more dissonant interruptions, both contrapuntal and chromatic in character. When, some 25 years later, Ives sent the score to be professionally copied, he took the opportunity to revise the piece and provided an explanatory note, quoted here: “The strings play ppp throughout with no change of tempo. They are to represent ‘The Silences of the Druids – who Know, See and Hear Nothing’. The trumpet intones ‘The Perennial Question of Existence’, and states it in the same tone of voice each time. But the hunt for ‘The Invisible Answer’ undertaken by the flutes and other human beings become gradually more active (The ‘Fighting Answerers’) as the time goes on, and after a ‘secret conference’ seem to realize a futility, and begin to mock ‘The Question’ – the strife is over for a moment. After they disappear, ‘The Question’ is asked for the last time and the ‘Silences’ are heard beyond in ‘Undisturbed Solitude’.” Admittedly, that may not help the listener, who may be best advised to surrender to the unusual structure and harmonies in this still strikingly modern piece. As per Ives’ instructions, ideally the string orchestra should be placed off stage, although this is both often impractical and visually unsatisfying for an audience, with just the winds on stage. However, the sense of distance is important to the work and its interweaving parts. Instrumentation of this work Strings: 1st & 2nd violins, violas, cellos, double basses Woodwinds: flutes (2), oboe (1), clarinet (1) Brass: trumpet (1)
Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Symphony No 3 in D, D200 Adagio maestoso – Allegro con brio Allegretto Menuetto: Vivace - Trio Presto vivace
Schubert started his Third Symphony on 24 May 1815, when he still just 18, only two months after he had finished his Second. By this time he had finished his studies at the Imperial and Royal Seminary, the Konvikt, where he had been given a free place because of his musical abilities, but he still maintained his links both with the school and his composition teacher, no lesser composer than the Court Kapellmeister, Antonio Salieri. It was also there that he would have heard, after supper every day, the student orchestras play symphonies, perhaps even his own First Symphony. Work on his Third Symphony stopped after just 47 bars, and laid aside for a couple of months, which is perhaps not surprising when you consider that, during 1815 and 1816, Schubert composed an amazing total of 382 works. When he returned to the D major symphony (his very first had been in this key, which – along with B-flat – is the easiest pitchwise for natural brass instruments) on 11 July 1815 he worked astonishingly quickly: he finished the first movement the next day, broke for a couple of days then picked up from the second movement on 15 July and signed the whole symphony off on 19 July. In length and stature, this is a slighter work than its immediate predecessor and, although not as harmonically adventurous, Schubert still used the subdominant to bring the second subject back into the recapitulation of the first movement (instead of the tonic: thus following his Second Symphony). He also started with a slow and stately introduction, with pulsing wind accompaniment, then a clarinet and flute mellifluous running melody. Schubert uses a similar upward scale in both the opening bars and the ensuing Allegro, which starts positively fizzing with its rocking clarinet theme, topped by the strident repeated triple chords before the oboe introduces the second subject. By contrast, the Allegretto is the calmest movement, although – like
Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony (which Schubert may well have heard in a performance just six months previously in the Imperial Riding School) – it is not marked particularly slow. Relaxed and songful, it allows the strings to open with a gentle theme, offering an answering motif to winds and the second phrase to flute. Clarinet with pizzicato string accompaniment characterises the middle section, before the opening music returns to end. The insistent Menuetto is almost a Beethovenian scherzo; his more usual Ländler-style movement, with its delightful wind writing, is confined to the more relaxed Trio (again as in his Second Symphony). The Finale is without doubt the most exhilarating movement and has been described as a cross between a tarantella and an opera buffa finale. Just think of the Finale to Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony (actually written some 15 years later) to get an idea of the former, and Rossini’s comic operas for the latter. Although not perceived as successful in this area, Schubert always harboured operatic ambitions and left a number of failed or incomplete operas and Singspiels. It may be a simple case of hindsight, but one cannot help wondering if Schubert was as captivated as he was envious of the new operatic whiz-kid Rossini whose works were shortly to take Vienna by storm. Rossini’s company made their first visit to Vienna just over a year later, so it is not too fanciful to suggest that advance notice of this new comic phenomenon had already reached the Austrian capital. Instrumentation of this work Strings: 1st & 2nd violins, violas, cellos, double basses Woodwinds: flutes (2), oboes (2), clarinets (2), bassoons (2) Brass: horns (2), trumpets (2) Timpani
