Carl Vine - Piano Sonata No. 1
Музыка
- Composer: Carl Vine, AO (8 October 1954 -- present)
- Performer: Michael Kieran Harvey
- Year of recording: 1991
Piano Sonata No. 1, written in 1990.
00:00 - I. [no dynamic tempo marking]
08:23 - II. Leggiero e legato
Australian composer Carl Vine uses a lot of open fourths and fifths in this piano sonata, and chords/arpeggios are often based on stacked fourths or fifths. The sonata is reminiscent in its form of Elliot Carter's piano sonata, and in its intensity of Samuel Barber's piano sonata.
Notes by the dedicatee, Michael Harvey:
"Drawing on the lithe beauty and contrapuntal elegance of the earlier Piano Sonata (1946) by Elliot Carter, the [1st] Piano Sonata by Carl Vine is a work characterised by intense rhythmic drive and the building up of layers of resonance. These layers are sometimes delicate and modal, archieving a 'pointed' polyphony by the use of complex cross-rhythm, at other times they are granite-like in density, creating waves of sound which propel the music irresistibly towards its climax.
The scheme is similar to the Carter Sonata - Two movements, with the slow section built into and defining the faster portions of the first movement. The second movement is based on a 'moto perpetuo' which soon gives way to a chorale section, based on parallel fifths.
In discussing the work, Vine is reticent about offering explanations for the compositional processes involved, feeling that these are self-evident, and indeed the work is definitely aurally 'accessible' on first hearing. However one of the main concerns in this sonata is the inter-relationship between disparate tempi, which is the undercurrent of the work and its principle binding element.
The work is dedicated to me and was commissioned by the Sydney Dance Company to be choreographed by Graeme Murphy. The first concert performance of this work was on 23 June 1991 in Melbourne. The first dance performance of Piano Sonata was in the Drama Theatre of the Sydney Opera House in May, 1992."

As someone studying this piece right now, it's funny because all of the parts that sound difficult and showy actually fit in the hand quite nice whereas many of the lyrical and melodic parts that sound easier are far harder in my experience. Incredible work, regardless.

Thank you for listening Timothy! Check out my channel for more sheet music videos, or if you liked this particular sonata you can also check out Vine's 2nd and 3rd piano sonata.
I heard this in my car during a vancliburn.Ive never forgotten it over 30 years ago.I pulled over into publix parking lot transfixed .
I discovered this music--this exact recording, in fact--on or shortly after a trip to Australia in 1992. It has been in heavy rotation in my CD player ever since. 14 years of enjoyment and still going strong. I have since seen it performed live, though not by Michael Kieran Harvey. Over the years, it seems this sonata has slowly gained a following and more and more people are playing it. There is something haunting and beautiful about it. Thanks for posting.

Immensely effective and impressive piano writing. Waves of sound indeed ! And never sounding merely loud of noisy. Yes this must be one of the great piano sonatas of the 20th century (but there are a lot). The start of the second movement strongly reminds me of the second mvt of Ginastera's first sonata.
Thank God for olla-vogala and Carl Vine. This has to be one of the greatest works for the piano ever written.

Thanks SO much. This is piece is extraordinary!
A truly oustanding piece from a totally and fully developed great composer, I was stunned by the conjuction of resources and styles from different times into one single and original approach, this is as hard jaw dropping as the first time I´ve listened to Godowsky´s Passacaglia

I was not expecting much when I saw it was composed in 1990 but I was in for a surprise. I am not a fan of most "modern music" however this sonata was a lot more coherent (and sounded much better) than I expected. I'll have to keep this in mind, as I doubt this is the only exception.

Wow. Three minutes in and I'm hooked! Who said that "modern music" can't still have a distinctive voice, accessibility and entertain too? I'm so happy that there are composers who are able to break free, of academic composition, and speak in their own unique, refreshing voice; one doesn't have to sound like warmed-over Hindemith to sound modern.

Music doesn't have to 'sound modern'. Let's say a modern composer fully mastered the compositional style of Brahms and composed new works in that style. That'd be absolutely great!

Sort of a missing link between the Impressionist composers and some of the more "out there", more atonal composers.
Epic!
fricking awesome
challenging yet very compelling
Incredible
Awesome! Certainly one of my favourites from recent times... Would love to see more people compose like this in the future... This what I call Great innovation, in my opinion modern composers try very hard to go behind the boundaries and to experiment with sound and innovate, but in my opinion innovation's path is towards a more coherent structure with modern sounds, possibly what I think is the best path is implementing microtonal intervals and harmonies into something that doesn't have too much unjustified dissonance (tension that just sits there from the beggining to the end, for me clusters and heavy dissonance can be implemented very well into music, but it doesn't work very well if that's the music itself) or extended techniques... Would love to make music in that line of thought in the future!

I think the problem with talking about "best path" for music is a bit like saying to a scientist "the best path is to use a telescope." The scientist replies "but I am fascinated by the miniscule.. the microscope is my tool." Different creative people have a different focus upon what they are exploring. My hope is that music becomes more and more diverse, let there be a billion great composers in the future, all creating totally different possibiliies
@giorgio1943

I would hardly think that a path, among these, is microtonality. I would say that a possibile new frontier would be “ intonation “ a wider concept compared to microtonality. If composers want to apply harmonics principles (in wich I dont believe) to microtonality well I will have to prepare a very long coffe so that i can wait them with new ideas. Enlighten me microtonal geniuses... we both know you dont know what you are doing... intonation is a breakthru concept
