Eine Gezupfteweltanshauung
Einegezupfteweltanschauung is my collected program notes and notes on major works in the plucked string repertoire.
The works has undergone continual revision over the years. I will outline the most important points here:
Rodrigo's Fandango
Rodrigo's Aranjuez
There are a few points about these two works that deserve to be more widely acknowledged. These may need multimedia--sound and video--to make the points clear.
Bach's lute music
a few observations about these works:
Suite I
the opening passage passes through a mirror
Suite II
the mystery of the missing diatonic part of the fugue subject in the middle section
Suite III
interesting connections between the dance movements
Prelude, Fugue and Allegro
The imagery falls into the cathedral space, obscuring the vaulting
And, most importantly, the discussions of the old music is merely a prelude for some important discussions of recent music.
