Description | A response to a call from the UK Alkan Society to respond to Charles- Valentin Alkan's Esquisses op. 63, using up offcuts from my substantive Concerto for Piano Solo composed as a homage to Alkan in the year of his bicentenary, 2013 (published in 2015 and available from Composers Edition, ce-bi1cfsp1). Three out of the four pieces came about in this way, refracting Alkan’s own interest in the imitation of sounds variously natural (birdsong), human-made (bells) and specifically musical (eg orchestral instruments on the piano). The remaining piece grows from a transcription of Alkan’s sketch for a string quartet. Placed first, it provides a bedrock of echt Alkan on which my own flights of fancy are built. |
