Description:

Zur Zeit Mozarts war es durchaus Ã¼blich, Opernmusik â??auf die Harmonieâ?? zu setzen, damit einem breiten Publikum zugÃ¤nglich zu machen und somit fÃ¼r ihren Erfolg zu sorgen. Mozart zitiert diese Harmoniemusiken fÃ¼r Sextett oder Oktett sogar als BÃ¼hnenmusik in seinen Opern (z. B. in â??Don Giovanniâ??). Als dann Antonin Reicha das BlÃ¤serquintett als neue Gattung schuf, lÃ¶ste diese neue Besetzung das Oktett ab und etablierte sich als Pendant zum Streichquartett. Das Entscheidende fÃ¼r mich ist folgendes: Eine gute Bearbeitung muss sich so weit vom Original entfernen, dass etwas Neues, Eigenes entsteht und sie dadurch erst ihre Berechtigung erhÃ¤lt. Ich hoffe, dass ich durch meine Fassungen dieser Mozart-Werke einen neuen, ungewohnten HÃ¶reindruck ermÃ¶gliche, der interessante Details erklingen und diese wunderbare Musik in anderen Farben leuchten lÃ¤sst. Ulf-Guido SchÃ¤fer (Klarinettist des Maâ??alot Quintetts und Arrangeur) -

"Playing with other instruments is always fascinating: it's not only great fun, but also an important experience for me as a pianist, every time. The piano is actually just a mechanical toolbox that we can operate without having to use our breath. Thanks to it's mechanism, the sound is immediately produced; once the hammers have struck, it can no longer be influenced, and the note unavoidably fades away. It is thus essential for a pianist to imagine what it is like to play another instrument, and to study the sound of other instruments in depth. They can be wind or string instruments, or the human voice. Sometimes I imagine I am playing with a string quartet; at other times it can be a full orchestra. With a woodwind quintet as musical partner, I cannot help but breathe with the music: my colleagues are constantly putting that ability on display. It starts with the very first attack. If I just "played piano" as usual, we would never be together on the beat; thanks to the piano's immediate mechanism, my note would always be there a little earlier. But if I imagine the gentle attack of a bassoon or a clarinet while listening closely, I can make an attempt not to be overly "on time" when I strike the key. I can also execute certain chords as a quick arpeggio, with the notes not quite together. Of course, such a mental image of breathing while playing can also be of great help when I am giving solo recitals: imagining wind attacks, or the upbow and downbow on the violin. The piano is an instrument designed to create illusion: the toolchest produces the most wonderful things, but to achieve them, we, as players, are required to use our imagination..."
