Richard Strauss: “Metamorphosen”
リチャード・シュトラウス：「変身」
TIME COMMITMENT: 26 minutes
Icy, audacious and highly tensile, this string enigma is perplexing: musicians’ warped parts appear to compete for tangible audibility. Strauss, whose tone poem endings puzzled audiences, is usually remembered as a deconstructive innovator but he also relished obsessively traditional virtuosity. Despite such formally irreconcilable ingredients, he emerged successful from most attempts to match them.

A REFLECTION
Losing too is still ours; and even forgetting
still has a shape in the kingdom of transformation.
When something’s let go of, it circles; and though we are
rarely the center
of the circle, it draws around us its unbroken, marvelous
curve.
Rainer Maria Rilke: “Losing”
