Program note
In English
Nocturne
piano solo
The piece is in three parts:
- Andante cantando poco rubato.
- Vivace moderato con anima.
- Andante cantando poco rubato.
In the first part a lyrical melody is heard with gently falling arpeggios in the lower middle range of the piano, interrupted by a more expressive burst that culminates in an intense music and then returns to the lyrical mood from the beginning. The middle part is quick, like a dense fog of music, where tones are sticking out like little drops of sound. In the last part, we return to the music from the start, varied in form and melodic material.
Martin Lohse 2007
In Danish
Nocturne
klaver solo
Værket er i tre dele:
- Andante cantando poco rubato.
- Vivace moderato con anima.
- Andante cantando poco rubato.
I første del høres en lyrisk melodi med blidt faldende akkordbrydninger i klaverets lave mellemregister, afbrudt af et mere ekspressivt udbrud, der kulminerer i en fortættet musik for derefter at vende tilbage til den lyriske stemning fra starten.
Den midterste del er hurtig, som en tæt tåge af musik, hvor toner stikker ud som små dråber af lyd.
I den sidste del vendes tilbage til musikken fra begyndelsen, varieret i form og melodisk materiale.
