Bzw. ۲ ۵ ۶ [»Valse Corrumpu« (1997) pour le piano-forte de R. A. ol-Omoum]

 


[»Simple Things«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



La musique est un moyen de rendre le langage plus frappant.

[Boris Vian]




[»Notes«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



Un artiste est par définition un homme habitué au rêve et qui vit parmi des fantômes.

[Claude Debussy]




[»Physis«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



Je voulais à la musique une liberté qu'elle contient peut-être plus que n'importe quel art, n'étant pas bornée à une reproduction plus ou moins exacte de la nature, mais aux correspondances mystérieuses entre la nature et l'imagination.

[Claude Debussy]


Muzica este o putere spirituală în stare să lege toţi oamenii între ei.

[George Enescu]



»Valse Corrumpu«

(1997)










[R. A. ol-Omoum]




قطعه پیانو

[ ١٩٩٧ ]



A cough is the basic sign of inattention. Musicians never, in my experience, cough when playing in public. [Charles Rosen »Piano Notes: The World of the Pianist« (2002)]


Music has its existence on the borderline between meaning and nonsense. That is why most attempts to attribute a specific meaning to a piece of music seem to be beside the point—even when the attribution is authoritative, even when it is made by the composer himself. [Charles Rosen »The Frontiers of Meaning: Three Informal Lectures on Music« (1994)]




[»Beauty in Decay«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



Understanding music simply means not being irritated or puzzled by it.

[Charles Rosen »The Frontiers of Meaning: Three Informal Lectures on Music« (1994)]




[»Torso«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



Á l’endroit où les fleuves se jettent dans la mer, il se forme une barre difficile á franchir, et de grands remous écumeux où dansent les épaves. Entre la nuit du dehors et la lumière de la lampe, les souvenirs refluaient de l’obscurité, se heurtaient a la clarté et, tantôt immergés, tantôt apparents, montraient leurs ventres blancs et leurs dos argentés. [Boris Vian »L'Écume des jours« (1947)]

Z. Z. XXVIII [Daily Sirens »1971« (2021). Inspired by Marc Wie]

 


[»Sculptures and Leaves I«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω μία καὶ ὡυτή

[Ἡράκλειτος ὁ Ἐφέσιος]




[»Sculptures and Leaves II«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]




Music for a While


Music for a while

Shall all your cares beguile.


Wond'ring how your pains were eas'd

And disdaining to be pleas'd

Till Alecto free the dead

From their eternal bands,

Till the snakes drop from her head,

And the whip from out her hands.


Music for a while

Shall all your cares beguile.


[John Dryden (1679)]













[»Sculptures and Leaves III«, Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead. [From: T. S. Eliot »Tradition and the Individual Talent« (1919)]
