Original tekst

Britten's Two Portraits for strings - the composer himself called them 'Sketches' - were composed in August and September 1930, during the summer holidays preceding the sixteen-year-old composer's first term at the Royal College of Music, in London. Both are musical depictions of character, the first portraying Britten's school friend, David Layton, and the second, introducing a solo Viola. Britten's own string instrument. , a self-portrait of the composer. According to Britten's diary, he planned to compose a third portrait, again for strings, that was to depict another school friend, Peter Floyd, but this movement was not written. However, David Layton was to be portrayed again, though very differently, in Britten's later quartet suite, Alla Quartetto Serioso. 1933. , itself revised and re-titled in 1936 as Three Divertimenti. The Pencil manuscript score, in the Britten-Pears Library at Aldeburgh, although hastily written, is very detailed, ad dynamics and phrasing are carefully notated throughout. However in several places in the first 'Portrait' the notes themselves are either difficult to decipher, or, due to the highly chromatic nature of the music, difficult to interpret - in some cases Britten has clearly made notational 'spelling' mistakes, which have been silently corrected in this editon. A list of those places where the reading of the manuscript is doubtful may be obtained from the Britten-Pears Library, Aldeburgh. As with virtually all orchestral music from his youth, Britten did not hear either 'Portrait' performed. The first performance of Two Portraits was given by the Northern Sinfonia, conducted by Martyn Brabbins, broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on 5th December 1995, as part of a series entitled 'Britten's Apprenticeship'. The first concert performance of Portrait No.1 was given by the Britten Chamber Orchestra conducted by Andreas Mitisek, at the Konzerthaus, Schubert-Saal, Vienna, on 10th February 1996. The first concert performance of Portrait No.2 was given by Sinfonia 21, conducted by Martyn Brabbins, on 8th February 1996 at St John's, Smith Square, London. Martin Altrim was the Viola soloist.

Brittens To Portrætter for strygere - komponisten selv kaldte dem »Skitser« - blev komponeret i august og september 1930 i sommerferien går forud for seksten-årige komponist første semester på Royal College of Music i London. Begge er musikalske skildringer af tegn, den første portrættere Brittens skolekammerat, David Layton, og den anden, som indfører et solo Viola. Brittens egen strengeinstrument. , Et selvportræt af komponisten. Ifølge Brittens dagbog, planlagde han at komponere en tredje portræt, igen for strygere, der var at skildre en anden skole ven, Peter Floyd, men denne bevægelse blev ikke skrevet. David Layton var dog at blive portrætteret igen, men meget forskelligt, i Brittens senere kvartet suite, Alla Quartetto serioso. 1933. , Selv revideret og re-titlen i 1936 som tre Divertimenti. Den Blyant manuskript score, i Britten-Pears Bibliotek på Aldeburgh, selvom hastigt skrevet, er meget detaljeret, er ad dynamik og frasering omhyggeligt noteret i hele. Men flere steder i den første 'Portræt' noterne selv er enten svært at tyde, eller på grund af den meget kromatiske karakter af musikken, vanskelige at tolke - i nogle tilfælde Britten har klart gjort notationssystem 'stavefejl' fejl, som har været tavst rettet i denne editon. En liste over de steder, hvor læsning af manuskriptet er tvivlsomt, kan fås ved henvendelse til Britten-Pears Bibliotek, Aldeburgh. Som med næsten alle orkestermusik fra sin ungdom, var Britten ikke høre enten 'Portræt' udført. Uropførelsen af ​​to portrætter blev givet af den nordlige Sinfonia, dirigeret af Martyn Brabbins, der udsendes af BBC Radio 3 den 5. december 1995 som en del af en serie med titlen "Brittens Lærlinge '.
