Original tekst

Britten was so remarkably prolific as a young composer that many of the works from his teens were put aside to await revision or completion as he rushed on to the next piece. This was particularly the case around the time of his Opus 1 Sinfonietta , composed in the summer of 1932, his second year as a student at the Royal College Of Music. The Sinfonietta was written. in less than three weeks. very soon after Britten had completed the first draft of the Double Concerto. but after finishing the Sinfonietta he went back to revise the Concerto's second movement. He started work on his Op.2 Phantasy for Oboe and String Trio a few weeks later. Although the Concerto follows the same three-movement pattern as the Sinfonietta , it is more ambitious in scale. and since the sketch is, unusually for Britten, complete in practically every detail, it is puzzling that he never made a full score of the work after finishing the composition, and seems to have made no attempt to get it performed. It is not clear if he had particular performers in mind. he was, of course, a Viola player, although he is not likely to have intended the part for himself. He showed the work to his composition teacher at the college, John Ireland, who, as Britten recorded in his diary, was 'pretty pleased' with it. but it is distinctly possible that his experience in rehearsing the Sinfonietta with a student orchestra in 1932. 'I have never heard such an appalling row. ' reads another diary entry. discouraged him from going on to complete the Double Concerto in score. He was not to hear any of his orchestral works until the first performance of Our Hunting Fathers in 1936. In the absence of Britten's full score it was necessary for me to prepare the work from the sketch. But the instrumentation is so carefully indicated in the draft that the resulting score is not far from being 100% Britten - only between bars 70 and 74 of the slow movement did there seem to be any need to add anything significant to Britten's texture. The Double Concerto. Britten's manuscript title was 'Concerto In B Minor', but he referred to it in his diary, in characteristic shorthand, as '2ble Concerto'. is the most recent addition to his corpus of works, mostly dating from Britten's youth and early maturity, that, since his death, have been revived after many years, or performed for the first time. Britten himself occasionally returned to his early works, and in his last years revised both the early String Quartet In D of 1931 and the opera Paul Bunyan. The Piano score published separately is not a reduction from the orchestral score, but a transcription of Britten's composition sketch, including his indications of instrumentation. The first performance of the Double Concerto was given at the 50th Aldeburgh Festival by Katherine Hunka and Philip Dukes, with the Britten-Pears Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano, on June 15th 1997. -Colin Matthews.

Oversættelse

Britten var så bemærkelsesværdigt produktiv som en ung komponist at mange af de værker fra hans teenageår blev sat til side for at afvente en revision eller færdiggørelse, da han styrtede på det næste stykke. Dette var især tilfældet omkring tidspunktet for hans Opus 1 Sinfonietta, komponeret i sommeren 1932 sit andet år som studerende på Royal College of Music. Den Sinfonietta blev skrevet. i mindre end tre uger. meget hurtigt efter Britten havde afsluttet det første udkast til Double Concerto. men efter endt Sinfonietta han gik tilbage til at revidere Concerto anden bevægelse. Han begyndte at arbejde på sin Op.2 Phantasy for obo og String Trio et par uger senere. Selvom Concerto følger samme tre-bevægelsesmønster som Sinfonietta, er det mere ambitiøs i omfang. og da skitsen er usædvanligt for Britten, komplet i praktisk talt alle detaljer, det er gådefuldt, at han aldrig gjorde en fuld score på arbejdet efter endt sammensætning, og synes at have gjort noget forsøg på at få det udførte. Det er ikke klart, om han havde særlige kunstnere i tankerne. Han var jo en Viola-spiller, selv om han ikke har sandsynligvis beregnet den del for sig selv. Han viste arbejdet til sin sammensætning lærer på skolen, John Ireland, der som Britten indspillet i sin dagbog, var »temmelig tilfreds" med det. men det er klart muligt, at hans erfaring øve den Sinfonietta med en studerende orkester i 1932. "Jeg har aldrig hørt sådan en rystende række. "Lyder en anden dagbog. afskrækket ham fra at gå på at fuldføre Double Concerto i score. Han var ikke til at høre nogen af ​​hans orkesterværker indtil uropførelsen af ​​vores Jagt Fathers i 1936. I mangel af Brittens fuld score det var nødvendigt for mig at forberede arbejdet fra skitse. Men instrumentering er så omhyggeligt fremgå af forslaget, at den resulterende score er ikke langt fra at være 100% Britten - kun mellem stænger 70 og 74 i den langsomme sats gjorde der synes at være behov for at tilføje noget væsentligt til Brittens tekstur. The Double Concerto. Brittens manuskript titel var "Concerto In B Minor", men han henviste til det i sin dagbog, i karakteristisk stenografi, som »2ble Concerto '. er den seneste tilføjelse til hans korpus af værker, for det meste stammer fra Brittens ungdom og tidlig modenhed, at siden hans død, er blevet genoplivet efter mange år, eller udføres for første gang. Britten selv lejlighedsvis tilbage til hans tidlige værker, og i sine sidste år ændrede både den tidlige Strygekvartet I D i 1931 og operaen Paul Bunyan. The Piano score offentliggøres særskilt er ikke en reduktion fra den orkestrale score, men en transskription af Brittens sammensætning skitse, herunder hans tegn på instrumentering. Uropførelsen af ​​Double Concerto blev givet på det 50. Aldeburgh Festival af Katherine Hunka og Philip Dukes, med Britten-Pears dirigeret af Kent Nagano, på 15 Juni 1997. -Colin Matthews.
