Percussion and orchestra - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q49877 Four poems for percussion solo and orchestra. Composed by Peter Eotvos. This edition: solo part. A battere. Downloadable, Solo part. Duration 23 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q49877. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q49877). Artificial language.'Talking whilst playing the drum is not something unique. We can find it in traditional Indian percussion, and in jazz when musicians accompany their play with 'Sprechgesang'. This piece goes the opposite way: It begins with the percussionist speaking nonsensically, the emphasis on the rhythm, which he then passes on to his instrument. Like the pure, childish joy of repeating the same word in a different tune, the soloist teaches his instrument to speak until the drums start to talk themselves. Several poems form the basis; in the first two movements it are three poems by Sándor Weöres, and in the third movement it is a poem by Jayadeva. Each sentence has a more complex form than the one before. Rhythms form words, words form sentences, and sentences create a narrative.' (Ann-yi Bingöl)2 (2. auch Picc.) · 1 (auch Engl.
