About this arrangement

String Quartet and Piano SKU: BT.EMBZ14836 For piano, string quartet and add. instruments. Composed by János Vajda. EMB Contemporary Music. Set of Parts. Composed 2012. 128 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14836. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14836). The piece was composed in the spring of 2012, at the request of the Kempten International Chamber Music Festival. The title Rundherum refers to the staging of the piece and the movement of the players. Central to the sound are the cello and the piano - their position does not alter during the piece. The other three instruments circle round the central point, both musically and spatially. The piano and the front desk parts represent the world of reality, but when the wandering instruments are played at the desks behind the piano, they speak of a hidden world. This drama presents the open and the closed world of the human soul, the contradictions of our public and private being. Thedifference between the two musical layers is emphasized by the fact that the back desk parts are supplemented with other instruments. The sounds of the mouth organs and percussion instruments raise the music of the inner world to another tone-dimension.
