PREFACE

This is the second volume in a series documenting contemporary music from Flanders.

The fi rst volume on Flemish string quartets since 1950 was published in 2004. Future

volumes will cover orchestral music, vocal music, ensemble music and electronic music.

With this series, MATRIX is meeting the criteria of its core activity: the documentation

of contemporary music in general and Flemish contemporary music in particular

(for more on MATRIX, go to www.matrix.mu). To this end, MATRIX has built up an

extensive collection of scores, CDs, books and periodicals. This collection is the

starting point for educational activities such as, for instance, courses on new music,

concert introductions or workshops for music teachers and conductors. The collection

also forms the basis for this publication, which aims to make an inventory of all the

piano music written in Flanders since 1950 for concert purposes.

The inventory is preceded by a major essay in which the most important stylistic

characteristics of the Flemish piano repertoire since 1950 are considered. This is

followed by short articles on several representative works.

We should like to emphasise the fact that the selection of works for discussion is not

based on a judgement of their merits. The chosen piano works are naturally compositions

of high artistic quality, but this may be said of many other Flemish piano music.

The aim of the discussions of the works is rather to illustrate the stylistic diversity

of this repertoire and to allow composers from different generations to be considered.

As an additional criterion, no works from composers presented in the previous volume

on string quartets have been selected for the short articles.

For budgetary reasons, a decision has been made not to provide a Dutch version

of this text. Flemings are world citizens with a perfect understanding of English.

The same cannot be said of all world citizens’ grasp of Dutch. An English version

thus offers a much wider international reach.

We are very grateful to the composers for their additions and corrections to

the inventory of works. Jan Christiaens provided us with an illuminating essay,

and we also thank the authors of the short discussions of the works for taking part

on a voluntary basis. This inventory is published with the support of Resonant,

the organization responsible for musical heritage in Flanders for which MATRIX acts

as the expertise centre for contemporary Flemish music. A word of thanks goes

out to the Flanders Music Centre for sponsoring the translation of the texts;

and for the production of a CD of fragments from representative piano works.

Documentation in word and sound is, after all, that much stronger. In order

to promote Flemish contemporary music, the book and CD will be distributed

free of charge to pianists, concert organisers, music festivals and other interested

parties both in Flanders and abroad.

A. Historical Overview

SOME KEYS TO FLEMISH PIANO MUSIC SINCE 1950

Piano music as experimental fi eld

The relatively large amount of piano music in the early work of many 20th-century

composers is striking. Beginning composers’ predilection for the piano is, however,

not diffi cult to explain: the piano combines the advantages of a small scale with

the luxury of a large scale. The composer can devote all his or her attention to one

single instrument, without losing anything on the level of polyphonic writing, tessitura

or dynamic spectrum. Composing for piano thus often has a propaedeutic function

for composers: it is an ideal training school, where certain compositional techniques can

be tried out on a small scale, as it were. This propaedeutic function is also evident

in the fact that important compositional innovations in 20th-century music were

fi rst detected in piano music, before appearing in larger-scale applications. Karel

Goeyvaerts’ Nummer 1, John Cage’s Sonatas & Interludes and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s

Klavierstück XI are only a few of the many examples of this tendency. At the pivotal

moments represented by these and other 20th-century compositions, piano music,

the ideal vehicle for innovation and experimentation, has often set the new course.

At the same time, the actual implications of such innovations can be more clearly

defi ned only against the background of Classical and Romantic piano literature –

a tradition that has weighed heavily on 20th-century works. Both well-defi ned conventions,

such as the piano sonata, the etude and the prelude, as well as less formal genres

such as the lyrical piano piece became established in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Chopin and Debussy developed

and perfected these genres to the point that their oeuvre has continued to form

a frame of reference – albeit implicitly – for contemporary composers of piano music.

Thus, however much piano music by its nature lends itself to experimentation

and innovation, it is a genre that, more than any other, is embedded in a tradition

and continues to be strongly determined by that tradition. This bi-polar situation

of Flemish piano music will be explored further in the historical-stylistic considerations

below.

Quantitative analysis

Before examining the stylistic tendencies of Flemish piano music over the past

50 years, it is useful to sketch a general picture of this repertoire. Here it should

be noted that the notion of ‘piano music’ can in fact only with diffi culty be used as

a genre designation. It is a fl ag of convenience for a whole range of contents:

on the one hand, traditional genres with more or less clearly-defi ned genre conventions

(such as the keyboard sonata, the toccata, the etude, the partita); on the other,

more poetic, small-scale piano pieces, which often set out from an extra-musical

consideration. The result of the difference in aesthetic and music-historical

connotations of all these genres is that Flemish piano music from 1950 is more

diffi cult to quantify as one coherent whole than a clearly demarcated genre such

as the string quartet. There are so many different variables in play that there is

little value in considering post-war Flemish piano literature as one interconnected

musical corpus. The quantitative analysis that follows has thus at best an indicative

rather than an absolute value.

An overview of the number of piano compositions per decade reveals a number

of striking tendencies:

Particularly noteworthy is the approximate doubling of the number of piano compositions

in the decade 1980-89, a tendency that has continued through the following decade

(1990-99) and into the fi rst half of this decade. This tendency has two main causes.

In the fi rst place, the contribution of particular composers to this increase must be

considered: for instance, the remarkable rise since 1980 can partly be explained by

the increased productivity of Boudewijn Buckinx and Frans Geysen. In the 1980-89

period, Buckinx was responsible for approximately 8% of all piano compositions;

in the subsequent decades his share increased to levels of 25% (1990-99) and 28%

(2000-05) respectively. Less substantial but comparable in proportions is the contribution

of Frans Geysen. A secondary cause of this increase is formed by a number

of contextual factors. Firstly, starting in 1990, there arrived on the scene a number

of performers who established themselves as fervent defenders of new Flemish

music. In this connection I am thinking particularly of Jan Michiels, who achieved

a breakthrough thanks to prizes won at such international competitions as the

Emmanuel Durlet Competition (1989) and the Queen Elisabeth Competition (1991).

The ‘Jan Michiels effect’ is also refl ected in such early 1990s work-titles as Jan en

Inge (B. Buckinx, 1992), and Eerbetoon aan Jan Michiels (Tribute to Jan Michiels,

F. Geysen, 1991). Secondly, around 1990, the music of the generation of composers born

around 1950-1960 entered the Flemish market, a generation led by fi gures who them-

selves were educated as pianists (including Luc Van Hove, Piet Swerts, Koen Dejonghe,

Walter Hus, Luc Brewaeys, Bernard Baert and Johan Duijck). Thirdly, the founding

of De Rode Pomp concert hall in Ghent (1993) has doubtless played a role. In its early

years, this hall had a policy of programming at least one Flemish work per concert;

in practice this often took the form of piano music, since De Rode Pomp focussed

on piano and chamber music in its programmes. Finally, the subsidies for composition

commissions by the Flemish Community starting in 1986 have also led to a signifi cant

increase in compositions, although the effect on piano compositions has been

smaller than on larger-scale genres.

This general quantitative analysis does not, however, reveal anything about genre

evolutions in Flemish piano music. For this we must consider the different evolutions

that have taken place in the representation of several traditional and specifi cally pianistic

genres within the totality of Flemish piano music since 1950. First, a charting of the

variation in the number of piano sonatas/sonatinas:

This survey reveals a decrease in the share of piano sonatas or sonatinas composed.

Although in gradual decline, the practice of writing sonatas remained relatively

stable until around 1980, and was chiefl y in the hands of the same group of composers:

Peter Cabus, Karel Albert, Willem Pelemans, Vic Legley, Willem Kersters and

Raymond Schroyens. Until 1970 roughly one in fi ve piano compositions was a piano

sonata. The importance of tradition certainly played a role here. For these composers,

as in the 19th century, writing for piano primarily implied writing sonatas.

This weight of tradition is also evident in the fact that the piano sonatas of these composers

were never the medium for an experimental and avant-garde style. From 1980

the younger generation, in whose oeuvre the sonata no longer held a central place,

took over the helm. There was no longer a conscious aesthetic preference for the

genre, as had been the case with the older generation until 1980. Exceptions to this

rule include the composers Frank Nuyts and Stefaan van Puymbroeck, who between

them have been almost completely responsible for the 7% increase in the number of

sonatas written between 2000 and 2005.

The same pattern applies to several smaller but no less traditional genres, such as

the prelude, the toccata and the etude. Once again it should be noted that the statistics

in the table below are purely indicative, with no absolute value. The percentage indicates

a particular genre’s share of the total number of piano compositions written in

a particular decade:

decade number of piano sonatas/sonatinas

1950-59 14 (of 63) = ca. 22%

1960-69 13 (of 65) = ca. 20%

1970-79 8 (of 84) = ca. 10%

1980-89 15 (of 165) = ca. 9%

1990-99 8 (of 259) = ca. 3%

2000-05 11 (of 169) = ca. 7%

Only the number of preludes rose (slightly) over this period – no doubt because it is

the genre with the fewest limiting conventions, giving it a fl exibility allowing it to be

reconciled with various aesthetic orientations. A clear decrease of toccata compositions

is evident. Only the composition of etudes has remained relatively stable.

50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99 00-05

prelude 8% 6% 3,5% 4% 6% 6%

toccata 9,5% 5% 2,5% 1% 1% 2%

etude 5% 3% 2% 2% 5,5% 2%

Contextual factors

The following four factors have played a crucial role in the spread and making known

of Flemish piano music: published scores, performers, concert programmes and

CD recordings. Concerning the publishing of scores, CeBeDeM (the Belgian Centre

for Music Documentation) is the only publisher working under the auspices of the federal

government. Other main players on the publishing market are Lantro Music

(Grimbergen), Euprint (Heverlee) and Digital Music Print (Antwerp). It is striking

that – with only a few exceptions – the older generation of composers are published

by CeBeDeM, while the music of the younger generation has been disseminated

by the other music publishers or has remained unpublished.

The performance of Flemish piano music, including works of the 19th century and

the fi rst half of the 20th, were more or less the sole domain of Jozef De Beenhouwer

and Philibert Mees until about 1990. Since that time, a new generation of pianists

has taken its place on the scene, making a point of including Flemish piano music

in their repertoire. Jan Michiels established a precedent that has been followed

by such colleagues as Piet Kuijken, Frederik Croene, Peter Vanhove, Walter Hus,

Hans Ryckelynck, Daan Vandewalle, Stefan Meylaers and Koen Kessels.

Despite the fact that the most important Flemish (and Belgian) concert organisations

have all included a piano cycle in their programmes, there is in general little Flemish

piano music in their concert offerings. Flemish piano music is thus mainly heard at

specialised festivals (TRANSIT, Ars Musica) or in concert halls that have made piano

music a feature of their programming, such as De Rode Pomp (Ghent) and the

Handelsbeurs (Ghent). These two Ghent halls also have their own CD labels which

often (although not yet regularly) promote Flemish piano music.

Flemish piano music has in fact done better on disc than in the concert hall.

This is chiefl y thanks to the CD label of De Rode Pomp, which leads the pack in

terms of recordings devoted exclusively to Flemish piano music. Performances

by Philibert Mees of (mainly Late-Romantic) Flemish piano music are, for instance,

issued on this label. Another Rode Pomp CD features Walter Hus playing his own

Preludes and Fugues (nos. 1-6). Also given over to the work of one composer

is the CD of Frederik Croene playing compositions by Jean-Pierre Waelbroeck

(Mobiles, Sonata no. 2 and Papillons). The most recent Rode Pomp recording is

entitled Contemporary Belgian Etudes, although Flemish works other than etudes

are also included. On this CD, pianist José Eduardo Martins plays works by B. Buckinx,

L. Posman, H. Cafmeyer, F. Devreese, R. Coryn, S. Van Puymbroeck, Y. Bondue,

S. Meylaers and D. Gistelinck.

Also worth mention is the Flemish CD label Phaedra, which has included the promotion

of Belgian and especially Flemish music in its statement of intent. With this in mind,

the CD series entitled In Flanders’ Fields has been established, with the aim of producing

an overview of Flemish music of the 19th and 20th centuries. Although Flemish

piano music has not taken a central place in their recording policies, interesting

performances can be found on Megadisc (with piano works by K. Goeyvaerts performed

by Jan Michiels) and HA’Records (the house label of the Handelsbeurs; work

by P. Craenen and F. Gyselynck played by Frederik Croene). Part of the catalogue

of the Belgian labels Cyprès Records and Eufoda (the CD label of the Davidsfonds)

is devoted to Flemish music.

Finally, the infl uence of the Queen Elisabeth Competition on the reputation of Flemish

piano music is not to be underestimated. The fact that Belgium hosts one of the

most prestigious piano competitions in the world has created a healthy dynamic,

not least of all because the composition competition linked to the main competition produces

a newly-composed work by a Flemish composer for each edition, which then becomes

the compulsory work for the semi-fi nal of the piano competition. This offers Flemish

composers an ideal opportunity to promote their work on an international stage

and to have it performed (and included in their repertoire) by the best young pianists.

In recent editions of the competition, this honour has fallen to the composers

Willy Carron (Paesaggii con Bach, 1987), Dirk De Nef (Rond’Eau, 1995),

Boudewijn Cox (Prelude, 1999) and Jeroen D’hoe (Toccata-Scherzo, 2003).

Historical-stylistic analysis

This paragraph will shed light on several general stylistic tendencies in writing

for piano, particularly against the background of international evolutions in composing

for the piano. Flemish piano music of the 1950s would appear to have been only

minimally infl uenced by the innovations of the international (mainly French and

German) avant-garde. In 1947, Karel Goeyvaerts had personal experience of the

magnitude of the suspicion held by composition teachers at Flemish conservatories

concerning innovative tendencies. When he set out to play Bartók, Lodewijk De Vocht

reprimanded him sternly: “There is no place in a conservatory for Bartók!”. In other

words, the younger generation of composers had to look elsewhere for information

about the latest music. Goeyvaerts turned to Paris, where Olivier Messiaen’s class

opened his eyes and ears to new music. With his Nummer 1, the Sonata for two

pianos (1951), Goeyvaerts played a pioneering role in the application of serial principles

to all parameters of sound. The concept of musical material within serial technique,

whereby the various sound quantities were determined a priori, became the spearhead

of the avant-garde of the day. Traces of this treatment of material are found in the

piano music of Louis De Meester and Lucien Goethals. Louis De Meester uses serial

techniques, without however subjecting himself completely to serial grammar.

Lucien Goethals took on the possibilities of serialism only at the end of the 1950s.

Burletta (1953) still continued to tend towards the then dominant Neo-Classical idiom.

Lucien Goethals made his move towards serialism in Musica Dodecafonica (1957)

and Twee dodecaphonische gestalten (Two dodecaphonic forms, 1959). The use of

such functional-neutral titles, in which the applied technique was explicitly laid out,

was in fact a characteristic of many compositions of the day, as a break was made

with the immediate past and a new beginning resolutely undertaken. A short time

before, Karel Albert had explored the possibilities of the twelve-tone technique

in Bloeiende lotus (1956). Although a clear distinction can be made here between

the melodic (horizontal) and harmonic (vertical) dimension – and thus the unity

of the musical space advocated by Schoenberg is here not realised – both the melodies

and the chords from Bloeiende Lotus can be traced back to the pitch material of

the original series. The work of Peter Cabus can also be placed under the heading

of moderate modernism. The musical language of his First Piano Sonata (1958) tends

towards Neo-Classicism, despite the fact that Cabus has here left tonality behind him.

Page 8: Contemporary Music in Flanders · Goeyvaerts’ Nummer 1, John Cage’s Sonatas & Interludes and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Klavierstück XI are only a few of the many examples of

12 13

In comparison with this sonata, the Second Piano Sonata (1974) represents a step

backwards, specifi cally, towards an extended tonality. The unaccompanied theme

with which the sonata opens returns as a leitmotif in the fi rst movement, as well

as the second, a Tema con variazioni. Recognisability and transparency are clear

aesthetic imperatives for Cabus. For the rest, this series of variations displays

Cabus’s Neo-Classical tendencies. The typology of the different variations is very

Classical (e.g., var. 1: theme in triplets; var. 3 arpeggios; var. 4: quasi perpetuum

mobile; var. 7: lyrical intermezzo; var. 8 staccato-chordal). The piano writing of this

sonata is highly effi cient and idiomatic for the instrument, while at the same time

opening no new perspectives on the level of playing technique. A similarly linear

approach is taken in the Sonatina (1957) by Herman Roelstraete. Roelstraete’s

predilection for Gregorian chant translates into a modal pitch-ordering which creates

a rather traditional impression. Such modal pitch-organisation can also be detected

in the piano music of Raymond Schroyens, who, like Roelstraete, produced a great

deal of choral music. The music of Olivier Messiaen – particularly his Mode de

valeurs et d’intensités (1949) – is proof enough, however, that modality in itself

is not necessarily synonymous with a conservative approach.

Lucien Goethals, one of the leaders of the Flemish post-war avant-garde, found

a brother-in-arms in 1960 in the person of Claude Coppens, who demonstrated

with his Série et variations (1960) that an autodidact, too, could perfectly master

the principles of punctual serialism. The principle of mobile forms, applied in 1956

by Karlheinz Stockhausen (Klavierstück XI) and Pierre Boulez (Third Piano Sonata)

is refl ected in Goethals’ Twee Kristallen (Two Crystals, 1961). The second movement

of this work consists of a number of modules which can change place with one

another. Over the course of the 1960s, the radically modernistic option of Coppens,

Goethals and others encountered increasing criticism from composers for whom

a concern for the explicitly grammatical was not the only crucial interest. This criticism

often came from the expression-aesthetics quarter. For a composer such as Raoul

De Smet, for example, systems do not represent a goal in and of themselves, but are

aids to composing expressive music. In his Meditaties, De Smet eclectically makes

use of elements from various techniques, to serve his expressive ideal. In the 1970s

and 1980s, this critical attitude to the avant-garde became increasingly clear.

On the international scene, Wolfgang Rihm set the tone in 1970 with his Klavierstück

1 (opus 8a), termed by the composer an example of “inclusive composing”.

In this music, the expression of compositional subjectivity is the only absolute; many

means and techniques, however heterogeneous or traditional, could be applied to

achieve this objective. That such a content-aesthetic could lead de facto to a traditional

style is illustrated by the work of Frédéric Devreese and Elias Gistelinck. In the case

of Frédéric Devreese, the demands of fi lm music increased a concern for accessibility.

In the two collections entitled Soundtrack (1970), titles such as Nocturne refer to

traditional genres that fall under the heading of content-aesthetic. Elias Gistelinck

often composes for a very concrete situation, evident in titles such as Kleine treurmuziek

voor Che (A little funeral music for Che, 1974) or Five preludes for a little boy (1982).

The difference between these emotionally-charged titles (and equally emotionally-

charged music) and the abstract-neutral titles of the years just after the war

(such as Goethals’ Musica Dodecafonica) reveals the gap between the radical

modernist aesthetic and the increasing questioning of this aesthetic.

The concept of inclusive composing also involves the application of foreign infl uences.

Frans Geysen was one of the fi rst Flemings to introduce repetitive music in Flanders,

mainly in its American variant. As early as 1967, the very year in which Steve Reich

produced his fi rst purely instrumental minimal music with Piano Phase (for two pianos),

Geysen was experimenting with canonic-repetitive techniques. Although with his

minimal music Geysen was setting himself apart from serially inspired avant-garde

music (and its aftermath), he cannot be reckoned among the representatives of content-

aesthetics. Grootste beweging in kleinst denkbare ruimte (Largest movement in

smallest conceivable space, 1971) shows Geysen’s priority: music as a pure sound

process. Starting out from several small sound modules, he sets transformative processes

in motion, thereby generating a subtly moving and developing sound process.

The critical distance developed by composers from postmodernist and moderate

modernist tendencies in relation to the avant-garde has led to a very diverse stylistic

spectrum. These composers have developed a number of specifi c concerns that

– at least in their opinion – have been ignored by practitioners of a more radical

modernistic music. A fi rst, typically postmodern concern is the composers’ wish

to position their musical language clearly in relation to radically modernist music.

Boudewijn Buckinx may be considered an embodiment of this postmodern, mildly

ironic attitude to tradition. Many titles, as well as the musical language, of his

piano compositions refer to the Classical-Romantic or the modernist approach.

The intention here is not, however, to identify himself with this approach but to

maintain a critical distance from it, a sense of distance that often takes the form

of irony in Buckinx’s music. However, behind the simplicity and the concrete titles

of his piano works, there often lurks a fundamental questioning. In Per C (1994),

a piano work dedicated to Claude Coppens, Buckinx poses the question that many

composers educated in an avant-garde idiom have asked: how can musical meaning

be conveyed to the listener? Moderate-modernist composers tend to deal with

the modernist heritage of the fi rst half of the century in other ways. Piet Swerts,

for instance, takes a generally dismissive attitude to avant-garde music. From an

explicitly formulated expression-aesthetic – “every work should be a continuing

search for affects” – Swerts calls avant-garde music a “no-man’s land, a meaningless

blanket of sound”. The double concern evident here – a clearly subjective author’s

viewpoint and the communication of (emotional) content – led Swerts to musical

idioms in which these aspects play an integral part: Baroque music (Partita, 1986

and Five Two-Part Inventions, 1991) and Romanticism (Sonetto 61 del Petrarca, 1986;

Cinq Préludes à la mémoire de Frédéric Chopin, 1993). For Franklin Gyselynck, the

second concern, the communication with the listener, led to a form of pedagogical

music. Gyselynck frequently develops a high degree of complexity in his music,

albeit gradually, building from the simplest elements. A similar procedure is found

in the music of Koen Dejonghe.

14 15

In Preludio, toccata e aria (1990), the concern for communication takes the form

of the motivic development of several clearly presented basic pitches. It is clear enough

that the desire for communication accords well with didactic piano music.

The sole objective of the two Affekten collections by Bernard Baert is to teach

the pianist how to convey several basic emotions (affects) to the listener. A third

concern typical of this moderate form of musical modernism is the reinstatement

of traditional techniques (in this case, tonality) and their accompanying aesthetics

(in this case, the Romantic expression-aesthetics). Composers such as Paul Steegmans,

Marcel De Jonghe and Marc Verhaeghen have developed a Neo-Romantic style,

in which the composition is based on tonal elements, sometimes spiced up with

atonal or bi-tonal accents.

The fact that postmodern and conservative aesthetics have so fundamentally

questioned the values of modernism has not prevented several important Flemish

composers from rethinking modernism and demonstrating its vitality in their work.

In this modernist line, the investigation of sound and the pure sound-composition

has steadily gained in importance. Luc Van Hove leads the composers of traditional,

abstract piano music. In his Sonatina opus 11 (1982), he develops a pure sound-

structure in a closed form, in which the traditional sections (Presto feroce; Mesto;

Molto presto feroce) are preserved. The main theme is less recognisable as melody

than as a specifi c organisation of the chromatic total, with several prominent intervals

that dominate the further progression of the composition. The same fascination

for pure sound is found in the Toccata (1988) by Wim Henderickx, a composer whose

training as a percussionist is evident throughout his oeuvre. The Toccata is a sort

of rhythm etude (written for the 1989 Cantabile Piano Competition), in which the many

changes of metre have the effect of completely negating any feeling of tactus.

The Toccata (1994) by Walter Hus aims for the same effect but achieves it by constantly

staggering the metrical accents. In the music of Luc Brewaeys, the analytical concept

of musical material of serialism is changed to its opposite. In Nobody is perfect

(1996), spectral sound analysis produces a synthetic result in sound, consisting of

a waterfall of extremely rapid notes. The work was composed for the 50th birthday

of Michael Finnissy, one of the leaders of the New Complexity and himself a virtuoso

interpreter of his own work. This explains why this work, precisely through its

exuberance and virtuosity, is so different from the rather static music that is often

the result of spectralism. Campo Minato (1997) by Stefan Van Eycken is closely

allied to the aesthetic of the New Complexity. Van Eycken’s predilection for complex

irrational rhythms and a sensual-virtuoso sound-world can be traced back to

Finnissy and Brian Ferneyhough. In this work he also explores new terrain by

integrating harmonics (obtained by depressing the piano string at a certain point)

into the composition. The fascination for sound-experimentation implied in this

process was the fi rst sign of a more pared-down aesthetic in Van Eycken’s work.

Rather than an aesthetic of excess, so typical of the New Complexity, his more

recent work exhibits a tendency towards reduction and a concentration on sound

for its own sake. Two other representatives of the new generation, Paul Craenen

and Bart Vanhecke, have also clearly played the modernism card. Paul Craenen

has orientated himself towards atonality, with motivic development the most

important means of creating coherence.

Bart Vanhecke’s music, in contrast, can be regarded as a contemporary variant

of Stockhausen’s ‘Formel-Komposition’. Les racines du monde (1988), like many

of Vanhecke’s works, is built on a formula consisting of 54 notes appearing

in different transpositions.

Flemish piano music since 1950 occupies a bi-polar fi eld of tension. On one side

is the modernist pole, which has been the object of increasing criticism since the

1970s. Here the proverbial gap between composer and audience – “avant-garde music

has not succeeded in reaching an audience” – was the most important argument

for the criticism. For the adherents of the other pole, which I have here generalised

under the labels of postmodernist and moderate-modernist, the ideology of progress

is not sacred on its own merits, since it can hinder expressive communication. In general

terms then, Flemish piano music has paralleled the discourse that has taken place

in music internationally since the Second World War. It is to be hoped that the fervent

defenders of each of these poles will be able to fi nd the media in Flemish musical

life (performers, publishers, CD labels, concert programmes) necessary for making

their aesthetic arguments. In terms of performers and publishers, the future would

appear to be secure: scores are easily obtainable and can be consulted through

MATRIX, and there is clearly a new generation of pianists eager to further Flemish

music. The situation concerning CD recordings and concert programmes could,

however, be better. I hope that this introduction to a half-century of Flemish piano

music will convince not only performers, but also concert organisers, of the great

quality present in Flanders.

B. Discussion of Selected Works

PAUL CRAENEN (1972)Falco Tinnunculus – (2000)

A piano work with the title of Falco Tinnunculus (kestrel) immediately suggests

comparisons with the work of the great composer/ornithologist, Olivier Messiaen.

This bird of prey is not in fact accorded a place of its own in that composer’s Catalogue

d’Oiseaux, but does appear in the biotope of the short-toed lark (L’Alouette Calandrelle),

which warbles in the fi fth book of Messiaen’s piano cycle. For that work, Messiaen

transcribed the call of the kestrel as 7+1 and 5+(2+1), where 7 and 5 stand for a repeated

tone, and 1 and (2+1) for a conclusion a semitone lower. In Messiaen’s fi nal ornithological

orgy, the opera Saint-François d’Assise, the kestrel holds a privileged place as

the saint’s favourite bird: in the fi fth scene, his call announces the appearances

of the music-making angel, and in the eighth scene he accompanies St Francis’s departure

from life. In both cases, the theme of the kestrel is identical to that used in

the Catalogue d’Oiseaux.

The repeated tones are also a constant in Craenen’s piano work, which is also

characterised by the emphasis on the extremely high and low registers. These represent

the bird’s two fi elds of action: ‘in prayer’ he tracks his prey, with rapid beating of

his wings as he hovers high in the air, and then hurtles down straight as an arrow

to tussle with his writhing prize at ground level. The pitch material is defi ned from

the opening bars of this piano work: a major ninth/second in the left hand (starting

from b - c-sharp) and a chromatic pentachord in the right hand (from which a major

second is isolated) (see music example 1) .

16 17

music example 1

This leads to tripartite form, which is rounded off by a cadence plus coda:

- part A (bb. 1-46): introductory character; polarity d, from bar 33 polarity a

- part B (bb. 47-85): the chromatic pentachord is rhythmicised into quintuplets,

the major second into trills; from b. 50 repetitions of b-fl at (initially seven times,

reference to Messiaen’s kestrel?); from bar 65 build-up of tension (rising movement,

crescendo), from bar 76 decrease in tension (descending movement, decrescendo)

- part C (bb. 86-100): repeated notes d (+ e-fl at/c-sharp) and a (+b), cf. polarities

in part A; in bar 100, the “cross section” of this is presented: with the major

ninth b - c-sharp the opening situation (chord in the left hand) is recapitulated

and the end of the form is reached; rhythmically, Craenen works with repeated

notes with shortened absolute values in the style of Messiaen ( E R3 / R3 R / R T3 ), a passage best notated non-metrically.

MARINUS DE JONG (1891-1984)Drie Schilderijen uit een Tentoonstelling van Vincent van Gogh, op. 58

(Three Pictures from an Exhibition by Vincent Van Gogh, op. 58) – (1950)

1. Hut bij Avond (A Cabin at Night)

2. Sorrow

3. Kerktoren te Nuenen (Boerenkerkhof)

(Church Tower at Nuenen (Peasant’s Church Yard))

Marinus de Jong is today best remembered as a composer, but he was also active

as a pianist (mainly in the 1920s and 1930s) and taught at the Conservatory in

Antwerp. It was especially after his other activities ceased that de Jong concentrated

on composing. Although his fi rst piano work dates from 1917 and he wrote such

works as his First Piano Concerto (1924) and the three sonatas (1926-1934)

for his own concert programmes, more than two thirds of his works for keyboard

were produced after 1945. Among these later piano works are the Second and

Third Piano Concertos and several of de Jong’s major piano cycles (Fantasiewalsen

op. 118 and Kinderspelen naar Pieter Breugel (Children’s games after Pieter Breugel)

op. 165).

The Three Pictures from an Exhibition by Vincent Van Gogh were written in 1950.

This was de Jong’s fi rst large-scale postwar piano composition, written after

actually seeing an exhibition. The three movements of the composition are named

after three paintings (in fact, two paintings and a lithograph) from van Gogh’s early

works (1882 and 1885). In the score, each movement is accompanied by a quote

from van Gogh’s letters, referring to the work in question. All three movements

have an ABA’ song-structure but apart from this there is no cyclical coherence.

In this sense, de Jong’s work is not comparable to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at

an Exhibition. What Three Pictures does share with Mussorgsky’s work is an evocative

power and a rich harmonic palette. Although De Jong writes tonal music,

he clearly has a predilection for modality or strong chromatic colouring

in his melodies, and for chords enriched with added tones and alterations.

Hut bij avond (part 1) has a song form and a tonality of B-fl at minor. The A-section

(bb. 1-11) opens with an elegiac chorale melody. In the best Classical-Romantic

tradition, this comprises the ingredients that will give form to the rest of

this movement. In particular, the descending fi fth in bars 2-3 and the motif in

the second half of bar 3 are the cells with which de Jong works (see music example 2).

Both begin with a syncopation, a rhythmic element pervading the whole movement.

The B-section, “sostenuto e grave, quasi tromboni” (bb. 12-28) consists of one

great crescendo. The build-up begins in a low register and a slow tempo and then

works towards a climax in terms of dynamics, agogics and register (bb. 25-27).

The descending fi fth from A is here reduced to a descending fourth; together with

the second (rhythmic) cell, they form the material for a condensation-passage

that evolves from B-fl at minor to D major through a number of short modulations.

18 19

- Cadenza (b. 101, non-metric) + coda (b. 102-117): in the coda, the pitch collections

of the opening bars 1-7 are repeated; the chromatic pentachord on d (bb. 106-109)

and the two-note chord b - c-sharp also form a literal recapitulation in terms

of motivic form.

In summary, the title refers more indirectly to Messiaen than directly to the kestrel.

Only the register and the steep ascent or rapid fall of the registers can be interpreted

‘naturalistically’. Messiaen’s imitation of the call of the kestrel in his Catalogue

d’Oiseaux and Saint François d’Assise have found their way into Craenen’s piano

work in the form of the repeated notes and the chromatic pentachord. Messiaen’s

musical language is further hinted at by the tonal polarity (fi fth relations) and

especially the approach to rhythm (‘valeurs déduites’ rather than ‘valeurs ajoutés’).

Finally, the fact that Craenen’s hypothetical expansion of Messiaen’s catalogue is

written very idiomatically for the instrument was to be expected from a pianist-composer.

A “tranquillo” bridge passage (bb. 29-35) leads to the A’-section (“tempo 1°”, bb. 36-48),

a reprise of the original melody in which the upper and the middle voices are accorded

greater independence through more playful material, ending up ppp in B-fl at

major. One of the rhythmic fi gures in this playful material consists of a dotted

quaver followed by two demisemiquavers, a foreshadowing of the fi nal movement,

in which this fi gure – inverted – is found throughout.

Chromaticism is the central feature of Sorrow (2), both in its melodic structure

and harmonic progression. The tonality is C major, but then in a chromatically

very “enriched” form. The many suspensions and syncopations contribute to the

emotional pregnancy. The internal structuring of the formal elements takes place

through fourth and fi fth relations. The A-section has an aba’ structure. The opening

melody of A develops into a succession of chromatic chords, followed by the reprise

of the theme in the lower fi fth (b. 6). After a fi rst climax (bb. 10-12), the a-theme

is repeated an octave higher in the original key. The main B-section motif (bb. 18-19)

is also repeated, each time a fourth higher, and followed by a short condensation-

passage (bb. 22-25). This is followed by a repetition of this process, but transposed

up a fourth. The B-section ends on the altered dominant chord g - b - d-fl at (b. 31).

The reprise of the opening material in A’ is interrupted by an arpeggio-cadence,

which comes to rest on the saturated fi nal chord of c - e - g - g-sharp – b (bb. 45-46).

This chord, identical to the one at the end of A, now has the stabilising note of c

as its root (instead of a-fl at, as in bb. 11-12).

20 21

Kerktoren te Nuenen (Boerenkerkhof) (part 3) has the mood of a sombre “marche funèbre”

in E-fl at minor, characterised by a rhythmic anapest fi gure (two demisemiquavers and

a dotted quaver) in a low register, marked “pesante, quasi campane” (see music

exemple 3). The B-section refers to the subtitle, as it makes use of the Dies irae

motif, which is then developed in the upper and middle voices in a short passage in

free imitation. In harmonic terms, this third movement has a simple plan of E-fl at

minor - B-fl at minor - E-fl at minor. Particularly striking are the fi gurations with

their many neighbouring chords at semitone and wholetone distance (bb. 26-30

and 36-40), giving these passages a hint of bitonality. The fi nal chord of e-fl at - g -

b-fl at - b/c-fl at - d is another example of de Jong’s predilection for rich harmonies.

music example 2

An “authentic” version of Three Pictures, a performance played by the composer,

is held in the sound archives of the VRT (Flemish Public Radio). Particularly interesting

is the free rubato with which de Jong performs his work, the freedom that he takes

in nuances and arpeggios (slightly reminiscent of Rachmaninoff playing his own

work) and the independence that he achieves in the voice leading.

FRÉDÉRIC DEVREESE (1929)Mascarade - (1953)

1. Burlesque

2. Blues

3. Variations à ritournelle

Frédéric Devreese wrote the three-movement piano suite Mascarade in 1953,

during his studies at the Accademia Santa Cecilia in Rome. Devreese had previously

written two piano concertos (in 1949 and 1952). Important piano works after

Mascarade include Gemini for 2 pianos (1980), Black and White (1984) and

Short Waltzes (1997).

In 1955 he would re-write the suite for orchestra and in 1976 there followed

an arrangement for large brass ensemble by Theo Mertens. The work consists

of a clever Burlesque, a slow Blues and a theme with variations, Variations à ritournelle.

Devreese’s music is basically tonal, but avoids standard chord progressions.

His musical language takes melody, presented in short and varied motifs,

as its point of departure. He constructs his compositions on a number of musical

cornerstones which are then frequently repeated.

The perfect fi fth is the basic material for the Burlesque: the energetic opening

melody is stretched out over this fi fth and immediately forms the foundation for

the composition’s further musical progression. When the theme is repeated from

bar 11, Devreese adds an accompaniment of strategically placed fi fths that create

a 3/8 feeling within the 2/4 metre. Starting from bar 26 there is a lyrical passage

with the fi rst appearance of long notes in the accompaniment. The fi fth continues

to be central, both in the melody and in the accompaniment. The alternation between

the rhythmic passage (bb. 11-26) and the melodious section is repeated here

before Devreese continues with new material. Here as well, he does not forget

his musical point of reference: the chords are still constructed from fifths

(d - a and g - d). After a short transitional phase, which later also marks the end

of the work, we arrive at the second section (b. 77), with a foretaste of the blues

to come in the second movement of this suite: a succession of jazzy chords. Here, too,

the accompaniment is fi lled in with fi fths. In b. 101, Devreese interrupts the slower

jazz pattern by using the last fi gure (semiquavers) of b. 100 as the rhythmic substructure

for the following bars. This passage of semiquavers is crucial to the further progression

of the work: in b. 124, the passage ultimately transforms into semiquaver triplets

alternating with long notes. Finally only one note is left over: the b that functions

as the leading note to c, as a da capo sign leads us back to the beginning.

In his early repertoire, Devreese was clearly infl uenced by American jazz.

The second movement of this suite, the ABA’-structured Blues, is an excellent

example of this infl uence. In the fi rst section, Devreese juxtaposes a lazy blues melody

and long notes in the accompaniment. These notes (e-fl at - f - g - f-sharp - f - b-fl at)

are all taken from the blues scale (c - e-fl at - f - f-sharp - g - b-fl at - c).

Devreese uses this accompaniment as an ostinato bass that is occasionally interrupted.

A fi rst climax is reached in b. 8: long notes in the bass fall into step with the

rhythm in the right hand and together they form chords. The notes of the chord

in the left hand remain related to the blues scale, while the right hand clearly moves

away from this idiom. In b. 10, this passage is repeated, after which Devreese continues

briefl y in the subdominant, E-fl at major. Despite the fact that Devreese uses

the blues scale as basic musical material, his work is clearly in this particular key.

There are three fl ats in the key signature and he begins with an unmistakable

e-fl at chord.

The B-section starts in b. 16, as the metre changes from the initial 12/8 to 6/8,

giving this piu anima section more Schwung. The chords are also fuller and more

colourful. From b. 28, Devreese returns to Tempo I, which recaptures the spirit of

the fi rst section.

In the Variations à ritournelle, consisting of a theme with variations, Devreese

constantly varies his musical material. In the presentation of his theme,

the accentuation is, for example, continually altered. The main theme begins in b. 1

on the fi rst beat of the bar, but at its return it already begins on the fourth beat

of b. 4, completely disrupting the rhythmic pattern. In Variation I, the range is

extended to the point that the composer requires three or four staves in order

to represent his musical ideas. Variation II is characterised by long melodic lines

which spin forward without a clear tonal centre. Variation III is in turn based on

a succession of disparate rhythmic patterns.

JEROEN D’HOE (1968)Toccata-Scherzo - (2002)

Toccata-Scherzo, the compulsory work for the semi-fi nals for the 2003 Queen Elisabeth

Competition, is constructed from two contrasting segments which alternate with

one another according to the pattern A - B - A’ - B’ - A” - B”. The rhapsodic A-segment

is made up of two elements. The fi rst (x) is presented at the beginning of

the composition and consists of scalar fragments that are to be played “as fast

as possible” (see music example 4). This passage numbers 33 notes, which can be

divided into three times twelve. The fi rst repetition (notes 12-23) is an exact transposition

of notes 1-12 (a major third lower), while for the second repetition (notes 23-33)

the same transposition is carried out (this time up a third) - except for the last

three notes. Moreover, notes 1-12, 12-23 and (again with the exception of the last

three notes) 23-33 each form a chromatic total. Notes 12 and 23 thus function

as pivotal notes between the fi rst and second and the second and third groups

respectively. The x-element returns in the following three systems, each time

in a different transposition and in the second and fourth systems in inversion.

In each reprise, however, it is confronted with a new element: a fastening repetition

of one note. In the second system, that note is c, in the third it is d, and in the fourth g.

When these notes are fi lled out in the fi fth and sixth systems into a layered-fi fth

chord through the addition of the note a (c - g - d - a), the four notes are heard

simultaneously for the fi rst time. In retrospect, the “deviant” last three notes of x

(a - d - g instead of the expected e-fl at - a-fl at - d-fl at) now reveal their relevance:

they function like a bridge between x and y.

The B-segment is a great deal more homogeneous and constant in terms of its

texture: it is characterised by an unbroken pulse of semiquavers and is completely

monodic, except for a few octave doublings. This offers a sharp contrast with the

sound-chaos created in the course of the A-segment. Central to the metrical

organisation of B is the division of the twelve semiquavers in each measure into

alternations of 4x3, 3x4 and – several times – 2x6 semiquavers. Thus in the course

of the fi rst 24 notes of B the same metrical pattern returns four times almost unaltered.

Somewhat comparable with the metrical organisation of these bars is their pitch

organisation. They make exclusive use of a group of three and a group of four different

notes, which are constantly transposed and permutated. The group of three does

not, however, coincide with the division of the bar into 4x3, nor does the four-note

group coincide with the 3x4-semiquavers group. The attraction of Toccato-Scherzo

is to a large extent precisely this ability of rhythmic three-note groups to be formed

out of four-note groups, and vice-versa. In bar 25, the regular pattern disappears,

and a new four-note group is introduced. From bar 31, the music “gets stuck”,

leaving only the c-sharp and the f-sharp by bar 37.

As the composition progresses, both segments go through a number of transformations,

producing a process-orientated relation within the segment-groups A - A’ - A’’

and B - B’ - B’’. The constitutive elements from A are thus reprised in a varied way

in the A’-segment.

Once again, the fi rst system consists only of quick scalar fragments, which are

confronted with the accelerating note-repetitions, starting from the second system.

In the last system, only the note-repetitions remain. It is, however, striking how

only the inverted versions of x are used here, and how the note-repetitions together

form the chord e - f-sharp - g-sharp - a-sharp, in which the fi fths built on A are,

as it were, doubled into ninths. The A’’-segment forms a synthesis between A

and A’, since in the fi rst and the second system of A’’, the respective fi rst and third

systems of A and A’ are combined, and in the third system, moreover, the four-note

chord c - g - d - a from A returns in the setting from the fi fth system of A’.

The relation between B, B’ and B’’ is much more complex. Although the progression

of B is repeated note for note, it is disrupted by a number of interventions. In the

fi rst place, the fragments from B are sometimes transposed a major third up and

sometimes a major third down. Much more striking is that B’ is no longer completely

monodic: single-voice bars now alternate with two-voice bars, as the 3x4 and 4x3

semiquaver-divisions are now not juxtaposed but superimposed. In such cases,

we are still dealing with two adjacent bars from B which are fused together; sometimes

one of these bars is found independently in B’ (and is thus repeated); sometimes

this is not the case (as in bars 1 and 2). In other places, two bars in B’ have their

origins in one bar in B, for example because that bar is fi rst transposed a major third

up and then a major third down (see bars 14 and 15). As striking as the polyphonic

and polymetrical combination of bars from B and B’ are the sudden and irregular

appearances of rests and long notes (d, c, g, a, e, and b), which abruptly curtail

the fl owing stream of semiquavers.

In B’’, the rhythmic continuity and the monody are re-established. Unlike most

of the bars in B’, bars 1 and 2 in B’’ are not a simple transposition of bars from B.

They have their origin in bars 3 and 4, but are shortened, since they last only 2x4

(instead of 3x4) and 2x3 (instead of 4x3) semiquavers respectively. In this way they

initiate a process of condensation that characterises the B’’ segment as a whole,

and that reduces the length of the bar from 2x4 and 2x3 semiquavers in bars 1

and 2 and 3 and 4, through 2x3 and 1x4 semiquavers in bar 5 and 6, to 1x3 semiquavers

in bar 7; this is followed only by a concluding formula.

ANDRÉ LAPORTE (1931)Ascension - (1967)

For this composition, as so often, the composer offers us a ‘speaking’ title for

a ‘speaking’ music. ‘Ascension’: climbing, mounting, ascending, taking off,

going up... Both hands ‘climb’ – more or less in parallel – the whole length

of the keyboard from the lowest to the highest note, from A to c’’’’’: a steady rise,

from the depths to the heights, ‘de profundis’, ‘ad astra’. In the big picture, the music

advances gradually towards the upper regions, with a regularity only occasionally

put into perspective through sudden digressions – large interval leaps in both

directions.

A big ‘gesture’. And yet the work consists of a succession of short or very short

sections, divided by breathing pauses and fermatas. With the exception of the

quasi-linear evolution of the registers, all parameters display an equal distribution

of the various possibilities. In terms of the distribution of pitches, the composer

adopts a twelve-tone system which is not, however, strictly serial in application.

The tempo is fl exible, the metres alternate and the metrical moments are interrupted

by extended non-metrical passages. The rhythm is unpredictable, in part because

of the irrational bi-rhythms (e.g., fi ve against six) and the alternation of long-held

reverberations with high-speed group-articulations that include a wide variety of

ornaments, including sumptuous fi oriture fl ashing by like passing thoughts.

The volatility of the rhythm is furthered by the approximate determination indicated

by ‘framework notation’, in which the speed of the performance can be adapted

to the degree of diffi culty of the hand-movements to be performed.

The composer also makes use of all the refi nements of the serialist piano techniques

still new at the time: graded use of the pedals, fl ageolets, sympathetic resonance,

directly playing the strings, and further colouring through dynamic shadings ranging

from quadruple piano to quadruple forte. The mostly single attacks are occasionally

alternated with smaller and larger clusters and with arpeggio constructions.

This systematic use of various possibilities for colouring and structuring characterises

Laporte’s aesthetic attitude: consolidation of New Music through an eclectic use

of the compositional techniques developed for this musical movement.

Ascension was not the fi rst of Laporte’s works tracing one great rising arch.

In Jubilus (1966) for three groups of brass instruments and three percussionists,

the composer took the same approach, and he did so again a year after Ascension

in De Profundis for mixed choir a capella: yet another work for which the musical

progression is described by the title.

In 1977, some ten years after Ascension, Laporte wrote Icarus’ Flight, with the

subtitle – again descriptive – Ascension II. In this case it is a solo piano that rises

from the depths and soon completes its ascent, towering above the accompanying

ensemble. However, here, once it has reached its highest point the piano’s musical

movement is reversed, plunging back into the depths. Icarus tumbles from the

heavens. In Ascension II, the double movement of rise followed by fall is related

to the story of the mythical aviator Icarus: from the sun to the shadows, ascent

to heaven/descent to hell, triumph and catastrophe, climax and cataclysm.

In Ascension (I), the reversal, the descent after reaching the highest point

(the note c’’’’’) is only sketchily suggested, ppp and pppp (after the sforzando

of the climax) through two somewhat longer notes.

In both Ascension compositions, however, as in so many of Laporte’s works,

the music represents an analogical model, an imaginary scenario, an unwritten

libretto. The music is striking in its clearly narrative structure.

VICTOR LEGLEY (1915-1994)Sonate nr. 2 in des, op. 84 nr. 1 (Sonata no. 2 in D-fl at, op. 84 no. 1) - (1974)

Vic Legley wrote his Second Piano Sonata in 1974, almost 30 years after his fi rst

encounter with the genre in 1946 (op. 23). A third piano sonata appeared in 1977

(as op. 84 no. 2), while his fourth and last work in this genre dates from 1985 (op. 107).

Together these four sonatas form the core of Legley’s oeuvre for piano. The second

piano sonata consists of one single movement, although three segments are discernible.

The fi rst segment is characterised by a quick tempo, virtuoso arpeggio fi gures

and repeated chords in the piano’s high register. The central segment with its broad

lyrical lines forms a sharp contrast. This is followed by a return to the rapid arpeggio

fi gures from the fi rst segment, giving the composition an overall ABA’ form.

This segmentation into three, with the last segment as a varied reprise of the fi rst one,

is the only bow to classical sonata form. Within each segment, Legley opts for

a completely free interpretation of this genre ‘hallowed’ by tradition.

Besides the term ‘sonata’, the description ‘in D-fl at’ is somewhat misleading, since

here it in no way suggests the classical, tonal use of the ‘key of D-fl at major or minor’.

Nonetheless, the ‘pitch d-fl at’ does play an important structural role in the whole

composition, mainly in the form of a pedal note that appears at all important formal

caesuras. This is evident right from the beginning: after a short fi gure in octaves,

the note d-fl at is strongly anchored in the bass (see music example 6). A chord is

then sounded three times above this pedal, producing nine of the twelve chromatic

tones (including the bass note). The predominance of vertical fourths and thirds,

however, softens the dissonant character of this harmony. Also important is the

position of this chord, with the major triad of c on top, an element already suggested

by the previous octave passage. With this friction between the notes c and d-fl at

and between their accompanying triads, one of the central elements of tension

or confl ict in this composition is indicated, replacing the traditional confrontation

between tonic and dominant in traditional tonality.

Variants of these opening bars are repeated in the middle and at the conclusion

of the fi rst segment of the sonata. The return of this ‘refrain element’ (a) demarcates

two passages in the fi rst segment, each with its own character (a-A-a’-B-a’’).

The fi rst passage (A) is characterised by a virtuoso use of arpeggio fi gures in the high

register of the piano, which is associated by the composer with gamelan music.

The fi rst twelve notes of this passage present all twelve chromatic notes, and recur

repeatedly in this form (see music example 7, b. 5). The placing of the top notes

(c3 - g2 versus c-sharp3 - g-sharp3) again refl ects the tension between c and d-fl at.

After this arpeggio passage, a fi rst variant of the opening bars appears (a’).

Because of the domination of seconds, the chord above the pedal note now has a

much higher degree of dissonance. In the second passage within the fi rst segment (B),

the left and right hands alternate a rapid succession of chords in the higher register

of the piano and create an unpredictable rhythmic pattern through the irregular

repetition of these chords. A second variant of the opening bars (a’’) concludes

the fi rst major segment of this composition.

music example 6

music example 7

The central segment, with its slow tempo (Quasi adagio) and broad melodic lines

has a completely different character. The composer nevertheless creates a strong

link with the fi rst segment through the use of subtle references. Once again

the pedal note functions as a common fundamental (see music example 5).

Above this there appears an expressive melody characterised by seconds, sevenths

and ninths. The opening note c1 of this melody again lays bare the tension between

this note and the pedal note. A rhythmic condensation of the fi rst three notes

of the melody (c - b - g) then appears in a form reminiscent of the opening octaves

of the composition (see music example 7, b. 4, ff sub.). In the further progression of the

middle segment, this motif in octaves gradually takes over the pitch material of the

original fi gure (c - f - e - d-fl at, a permutation of the fi rst motif in music example 6).

30 31

The chords that sometimes sharply interrupt the melody (music example 7, b. 6,

affrettando) in turn refer in terms of their composition (mainly seconds) to the variants

a’ and a’’ of the fi rst segment, while their repetitive character links them to the

second passage (B) from that fi rst segment. The middle section continues with

a number of transpositions of the central lyrical melody (starting from d1, e-fl at1

and a1) before returning to its original form starting from c1, after which this adagio

softly dies out above the repeated pedal note d-fl at in the bass.

After this central segment there follows a varied reprise, based on the arpeggio

passage from the fi rst segment. The composition ends with a fourfold repetition

of the pedal note d-fl at in the bass, above which is heard the major triad on c (c - e - g - c),

which is in turn combined with major triads on a, b-fl at and b respectively (resulting

in increasingly sharp dissonance). The fourth repetition of the note d-flat,

now isolated, in the bass (ffff) seems to have decided the battle between d-fl at

and c once and for all. As a silent witness of this struggle, a concluding verse

by Guido Gezelle is found at the end of the score: ‘En den avond is nabij voor mij’

(‘And the evening is at hand for me’).

FRANK NUYTS (1957)3rd Piano Sonata “...et voces, praetereaque nihil...” – (2002)

This piano sonata forms part of a series of three large piano sonatas (the second,

the third and the fourth), originally intended to be performed by three pianists on

the same evening. The present sonata thus functions as the middle movement

of a ‘super sonata’ lasting some 90 minutes. It is typical of a middle movement,

less massive and stirring than the outer movements. The title, “...et voces,

praetereaque nihil...”, indicates that voices are the central element in this sonata:

votes are of crucial importance for Frank Beke, the Ghent politician and mayor,

to whom Nuyts dedicated this sonata (the Dutch translation of voces - stemmen -

has a double meaning of ‘voices’ and ‘votes’); at the same time, each of the three

movements in this third sonata is strictly written for a fi xed number of voices:

the fi rst movement for one voice, the second for three and the third for two.

Although Nuyts, together with Boudewijn Buckinx, has been among the most

passionate postmodernists in Flanders since the late 1980s, his unceasing

quest for metrical and rhythmic possibilities reveals a modernist tendency.

This meticulous handling of metre and duration was no doubt passed on to him

by his composition teacher, the serialist Lucien Goethals, but it is also the result

of his training as a percussionist. In the first movement (crotchet = 192)

of this sonata, he indeed seems to treat the piano like a marimba: note the tremolo

that appears for the first time in bars 19 and 21 (see music example 8).

Equally, the constant metrical shifting and ambiguity require the pianist to apply

other percussion techniques. At the same time, Nuyts is certainly not out

to interfere with the player’s enjoyment: since the 1980s he has made a point

of ensuring that his music remains attractive to both players and listeners.

The adoption of a style that perfectly suits the nature of the piano certainly

helps in realising this objective.

Like most of Nuyts’s music, this sonata is very transparent, light, carefree

and improvisational. And yet this is in many ways a traditional sonata: there

is a succession of movements (fast – slow – fastest); in terms of form and style,

there are constant references to the tonal sonata tradition and there are even

motivic references between movements (e.g., b. 412 left hand ~ b. 1). For the

macro-structure, Nuyts leaves nothing to chance, starting from a pre-determined

plan. The concrete working-out of this plan is nonetheless spontaneous and

improvisational. Nuyts is at his best in difficult-to-define border zones, such

as that between rock and classical music.

The first movement (crotchet = 192) is conceived in sonata form, while the third

movement (Con fuoco) is rondo-like. On a more detailed level, the sonata is

a succession of allusions. At one moment Nuyts may create a jazzy atmosphere,

whereupon we suddenly seem to have landed in a piano work by Bartok or Prokofi ev.

32 33

Time and again the listener is wrong-footed, as Nuyts toys with his musical ideas,

repeatedly changing their meaning. For example, through the use of cadences

(bb. 319-320), sequences (bb. 147-155) and suspensions (bb. 405 ff.), he creates

the comfortable impression of tonal music, while at the same time the context

keeps you off balance. In the choice of the succession of allusions, he also reveals

his humorous side. The fi rst movement, for instance, with its single line that

conjures up the tough world of metal music, is followed by a second movement

(crotchet = 84) which begins softly and sentimentally.

LUCIEN POSMAN (1952)Le conte de L’Etude Modeste - (2000)

The Ghent composer Lucien Posman likes a little humour. In Le conte de

L’Etude Modeste, he combines pastiche with recycling and quotations in

a highly individual way. The single-movement work tells a story, each episode

of which draws on existing works of music in parodies and witty combinations.

The result is one great collage, in which the composer’s ‘hand’ is recognisable

at certain moments in the ingenious way he has penned a virtuoso contemporary

piano work. Posman knows the piano thoroughly, he knows the classic stylistic

approaches to the instrument and inventively fits them into his story. Various

indications are included in the score in order to help the pianist to evoke

the story during the performance. These texts can be recited by an actor/narrator,

giving the work a music-theatre dimension.

Some of Posman’s humour has strong links to a particular time and place.

He wrote this work in 2001, alluding to a situation that held Belgium in its grip

at the time: the scandal, just before the elections, concerning dioxin in chicken-feed.

Posman refers to the affair in his ‘dioxin-chicken street-ballet’ (‘dioxinekippen-

straatballet’). He also uses the Belgian national anthem and quotes local folk

music, the Flemish/South-African folk song ‘Rij maar an, ossewagen rij maar aan’

(‘Drive on, ox cart, drive on’). In opposition to these anecdotal elements, which also

include an appearance by Orson Welles in a sewer, there are such universal allusions

as a ‘globalist’ member of parliament, and quotations from the folk song

‘Mijn haan is dood’ (‘My rooster is dead’, known in various languages), the Dies Irae,

the ‘fate’ motif from Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, and the ‘Internationale’.

This last reference links Posman with his own city, since Julius De Geyter,

the composer of the ‘Internationale’, was also from Ghent. The story, however,

takes place in Paris.

The basis of the composition is formed by various episodes from Pictures at an

Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky. The characters are also taken from Mussorgsky.

The main character is Modeste, a ‘modest’ study or étude for piano, sitting on

a bookshelf next to Pictures at an Exhibition. Just as Mussorgsky begins his work

with a ‘promenade’, the Etude begins by taking a walk.

Since Lucien Posman has himself described the work in detail, he is best placed

to take up the story: “Etude is only two streets further when she detects a scary

Gnome who is studying her in a barbaric way. The gnome notices her at once

and starts to chase her. She runs away and is able to hide in an Old castle.

She gets charmed by the bluesy lamentations of Bluebeard who is confi ned to his

bed. She opens a window and when she feels the cool breeze she also hears the

playful screams of children rising from the cellars of the nearby Centre Pompidou.

She decides to take a taxi. The driver introduces himself as Bydlo. He is a heavy-set

black man. He only knows one song: ‘Rij maar an, ossewagen rij maar aan’,

which he is humming constantly.

Page 19: Contemporary Music in Flanders · Goeyvaerts’ Nummer 1, John Cage’s Sonatas & Interludes and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Klavierstück XI are only a few of the many examples of

34 35

To kill time, Modeste tries out the melody of this song on ‘Pictures at an exhibition’,

her neighbour on the bookshelf, which – with some adjustments to the rhythm

– comes off wonderfully well. The taxi driver shows her some special attractions,

including the Belgian Street ballet of the dioxine Chickens which is causing

a real upheaval. To the strains of the Belgian folk song ‘Moeder de haan is dood’,

a dash of Beethoven and a little bit of the Dies Irae, a real Witch’s Sabbath

is staged. Modeste doesn’t feel well and asks Bydlo to turn on the radio.

On the radio a discussion is going on between the obese member of parliament

Goldenberg, a supporter of globalism, and Schmuyle, a washed-out Maoist from

the generation of May 1968. To the strains of Washington Post (in an orientalised

fashion) Goldenberg gives his vision of the future political order. Schmuyle counters

him, stammering to the tune of the International, the famous workers’ song com-

posed by Julius De Geyter, a composer from Ghent. It is a hopeless discussion and

Modeste asks for something else. Bydlo is annoyed and starts to drive his car furiously

to the Old Market-place, where nothing is going on so the wild ride takes off again.

In vain, Modeste urges him to calm down. At last they arrive at the Catacombs, which

turn out to be the out of use sewer where Orson Welles shot parts of ‘The Third Man’.

Modeste is feeling cold and Bydlo desperately proposes a visit to Baba Yaga.

Modeste refuses this resolutely and asks him to drive her back home. Bydlo brings

her home with exemplary and solemn conduct, to the tones of ‘It’s a long way

to Tipperary!’. Once home, l’Etude Modeste cuddles up to ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’

by her namesake, her favourite place.”

After the Mussorgsky/Ravel version of Pictures at an Exhibition, the music world

is now one Mussorgsky/Posman version richer.

GODFRIED-WILLEM RAES (1952)Fuzzy Harmony: studie nr. 5 (Fuzzy Harmony: Study No. 5) – (1996-97)

As of 2005, Godfried-Willem Raes has produced twelve compositions in his Studies in

Harmony series. The fi rst sub-series (1996-97) consists of eight compositions written for

a human performer playing on any keyboard instrument with strings (piano, harpsichord,

Tangentenfl uegel...). The second sub-series (2000-04) consists so far of four movements

conceived for automated instruments: studies 9 and 10 are for player piano, study 11

is for an automated keyboard instrument or, together with study 12, for the automated

orchestra developed by the composer. Studies 10 to 12 can, however, also be performed

by human musicians. Only in study 12 is human involvement impossible, because of

the use of Shepard Tones, whereby the concept of pitch is abandoned, leaving only

Tönigkeit. In order to achieve this, the sound spectrum must be very strictly controlled,

necessitating the use of machines.

As their title suggests, the harmonic aspect is central to these studies. Raes takes

scales, and not a specifi c melodic element, as his point of departure, in order to

focus exclusively on pitch and harmony. A central feature is the layering of pitches in

all possible combinations. The goal is thus not the harmonisation of thematic material

– although this does not preclude the perception of melody on the part of the listener.

‘Fuzzy’ refers to ‘fuzzy logic’, a branch of logic which replaces the division between

true and untrue with a series of gradual transitions between these two extremes.

Applied to the context of harmony, there is a continuum between the elements

of consonance and dissonance. Raes makes use of his own software (a sub-set of his

harmony library) in order to create harmonic sequences. The studies originally served

as a manner of testing this software. From the series thus produced the composer

then chooses the material required for a specifi c study. The machine (in this case

the computer) is thus only an aid to composing; the software presents options and

the composer makes the further musical choices. Important criteria for Raes include

the limitation of redundancy (both between the studies and within a particular study)

and the duration, as well as the playability by humans (spacing of the fi ngering, etc)

in the fi rst sub-series.

The indications for the performer in Study No. 5 are straightforward and apply to

the whole work: dolce, metronome marking 114, sempre piano. The time signature

of 6/8 also remains constant throughout. The fi fth study numbers 122 bars but gives

the impression of being a slice of a larger whole. Like the harmonic principle behind

this work, the beginning and the end seem not absolute but only an approximation.

The composition’s spiral-like form is reinforced by the pedal note b-flat in the contra-octave,

together with the recurring motif e-fl at - f - g - b-fl at in the middle register from bar

20, and the simple rhythmic patterns that play with the metrical feeling. At the same

time, a clear sense of phrasing can be perceived, and Raes indeed explicitly calls for

an expressive performance, in the hope of avoiding the misconception that compositions

involving machines should be played mechanically.

PETER SWINNEN (1968)Xedalvu: omaggio a Paul Delvaux - (1995)

Peter Swinnen’s 1995 work, Xedalvu, was commissioned by the Frédéric Chopin Society

of Flanders. According to the terms of the commission, the fi nished work had to refer

in some way to Chopin. Swinnen, however, also wanted to create a work around the

Belgian surrealist painter, Paul Delvaux, who died in 1994. He found a point of contact

between Delvaux and Chopin in one of Delvaux’s paintings, Le Jardin nocturne (1944).

Xedalvu, an anagram of Delvaux, has the form and the character of a classic nocturne

in the style of Chopin with a tripartite ABA’-structure and a modal-atonal musical

language. On a deeper level, the complete and complex reading-process of Le jardin

nocturne is incorporated into the composition: at fi rst sight, the viewer sees an idyllic

night-time garden view, with fi ve naked women, albeit depicted in the typically strange

Delvaux style. It soon becomes apparent, however, that Delvaux has depicted the same

woman fi ve times, but in only two different poses, and each time from a different point

of view. Moreover, the garden itself turns out to be closed space, with the same décor

seen from a number of different angles. Only after combining all these details does

the viewer begin to grasp the total image in all its complexity.

As in Le Jardin nocturne, the listener is seduced by the “classical” thematic structure

in the A-section (Andante quasi Notturno ma senza Rubato), with only the short

introduction creating a somewhat strange impression. The sixteen bars can be

thematically subdivided into two times eight bars. These eight bars have, in turn,

an asymmetrical periodic structure consisting of a fi ve-bar opening phrase and a

three-bar secondary phrase. This suggests a reference to the fi ve female fi gures

in the painting, three of which stand in the foreground. Three and fi ve are also two

numbers in the fi rst Fibonacci series, which Swinnen often applies to his compositions

on a structural level. Delvaux uses these proportions in Le Jardin nocturne in the

form of the golden mean, in order to arrange the architectural elements in the garden.

The numbers three and fi ve are also clearly present in the rhythm of the melody

line in the form of triplets and quintuplets.

In the A-section, two metres, 5.5/4 and 4.5/4 constantly alternate, thus creating

a metrical framework for the written-out rubato in the melody. A fi xed rhythm

is linked to this in the left hand, which then functions as a rhythmic ostinato

(see music example 9).

The melody unfolds freely above the strict bass pattern, as is so often the case

in Chopin’s nocturnes. Swinnen uses a modal ordering of the pitches, a technique

that he has applied often since the mid 1990s, with Xedalvu as one of the fi rst

examples.

The contrasting B-section (sempre a tempo) is much less melodically-thematically

conceived and has the character of a round dance. At the same time, it is a sort

of passacaglia, in which the bass pattern, which is derived from the rhythmic ostinato

in the A-section, is varied in each segment. Initially, the musical material consists

of independent, percussively produced tones and sounds generated by the piano itself

or by playing on the instrument’s woodwork. The resonances in the piano lend

a strange quality to the normal piano sounds, paralleling the closed character of the

garden in the painting. Slowly but surely, however, more and more motivic and rhythmic

cells begin to appear, referring to the A-section and functioning as an anticipation of A’

(see music example 10). With this change of texture, Swinnen is playing with the viewer’s

realisation that nothing is quite what it seemed at fi rst: in a reading of Le Jardin

nocturne, too, the viewer is obliged to examine various details and then recombine

them into a complex whole.

A’ begins with a varied repetition of the theme from A. This is followed by four variations

on the theme, each of which receives its own colour through the addition of mixtures

to the originally monodic melody line or through the resonances in the piano.

This procedure can be seen as a reference to the fi ve different fi gures in the painting,

which turn out to be fi ve versions of the same woman, and to the garden which

consists of one and the same décor seen from different points of view. Finally,

the resonances, already present in B, refer to the closed character of the garden.

Xedalvu. Omaggio a Paul Delvaux is thus a multi-layered composition with various

complementary structures, as suggested by the work’s double reference.

BART VANHECKE (1964)Les racines du monde – (1998)

The overall progression of pitches in Les racines du monde proceeds through

the whole ambitus of the piano keyboard, starting with the lowest note and ending

with the highest. Seen from this perspective, the title of the work seems to refer

to a cosmic evolution, in which the creation of human life out of the primal elements

of the world (les racines du monde) is evoked. The lowest register of the piano

can be seen as a representation of anorganic nature, while the middle register

is the creation of organic nature and the descant range symbolises the development

of human life. Les racines du monde can thus be considered a sounding paraphrase

of Schopenhauer’s philosophy of music.

The evocative title does not, however, betray anything of the restrictive compositional

process on which this work is based. Vanhecke writes in the post-serial tradition,

ordering a number of parameters of the sound in discreet quantities and then

mutually correlating these elements according to a strict mathematical matrix.

In this work, only the parameters of pitch and duration are subjected to a (typically

serial) analytical concept of musical material. The composer did leave himself

the freedom to decide such matters as the sound intensity (dynamics) and

the timbre (here, the manner of attack) of each note. In terms of the fi rst, the overall

dynamic curve of the work runs parallel to the pitch evolution. The lowest registers

of the piano keyboard are generally loud (up to fff); as the work moves through

various octave registers up to the highest notes of the keyboard, the volume

generally decreases (to ppp). The variation in timbre is mainly dependent on this

dynamic spectrum, since the composer works with only three nuances concerning

the manner of attack: accented (>), staccato and normal attack.

For the pitch organisation of Les racines du monde, Vanhecke uses a basic series

of 54 notes, the structural characteristics of which are established with an eye to

the fi nal sounding result. The basic series is constructed of eighteen cells, each

with three notes, (at least) two of which are at a distance of a semitone (see music

example 11).

Keeping in mind this restriction, there are only eighteen different three-note cells

with the above characteristics that can be constructed from the chromatic total.

The presence of at least one chromatic interval per three successive pitches in

the series guarantees a generally atonal sound in the composition. On a rhythmic

level as well, the building blocks of the composition have been predetermined.

Vanhecke developed nine different rhythmic cells, all consisting of six rhythmic

values. In addition, he increased the number of possible forms of each rhythmic

cell to twelve by making fi ve augmentations or diminutions of the basic form and

adding the retrograde form of each of these six possibilities.

These basic elements on the level of pitch (54 notes) and duration (9 rhythmic cells

each in 12 variants = 108) are mutually correlated according to a pre-ordained

mathematical system. In concrete terms, this means that each successive note

in the pitch series is assigned a specifi c rhythmic cell. Note, however, that there

are twice as many rhythmic cells as there are pitches. The reason for this lies

in the overarching structure of the work. On this larger level it becomes clear

that the pitch series is in fact heard two times. In order to assign to the notes

of the second exposition of the series rhythmic cells that are different from those

previously used, Vanhecke has created 108 variants of the 9 rhythmic basic cells.

The place at which the second presentation of the series makes its appearance

is precisely determined according to the golden mean – that is, at the 21st note

in the basic series. The further interactions between the two presentations of

the series are also subjected to the proportions of the golden mean, as illustrated

by the fi gure below. This fi gure also demonstrates that the second presentation

of the series is compartmentalised into segments, some of which occur recto

and others recurrent (see fi gure 1).

MARC VERHAEGEN (1943)Sonatine (Sonatina) - (1987)

The Sonatina for piano is a classically-constructed, three-movement composition.

The whole is characterised by a high degree of transparency, strict and clear

metres and rhythm-structures, clearly delineated melodies and a lightly dissonant

harmony. The formal development is highly traditional.

The fi rst movement (Poco Allegro, 4/4, E=104, 77 bb.) is structured in small-scale

sonata form, with an exposition (bb. 1-25), development (bb. 24-46) and recapitulation

(bb. 47-77). The exposition begins with an A-segment (bb. 1-9) in which an irregularly

descending bass line (a) is linked to an ostinato rhythm in quavers in the left hand

(b) and to ascending triplet-fragments in the right hand (c). The general tenor

of this passage is introductory. The B-segment (bb. 10-19) begins decidedly more

slowly (E=80), with a theme to be played espressivo e rubato. The material of this

theme is immediatley developed and leads to a concluding segment (C, bb. 20-24),

which has a slowing effect in terms of its dynamics (pianissimo), rhythmic pulse

(crotchets in the left hand) and tempo marking (poco ritenuto). The development

is reached by way of a transitional bar (b. 25) and begins with a fi fth transposition

of the opening bar, emphasising even more the affi nity with the Early-Classical

sonatina structure. Material from (a), (b) and (c) is reprised, albeit in an altered

form. The developmental character of the passage is further confi rmed by the fact

that an augmented version of the head of the B-theme is placed above the A-material

(from b. 353; cf. b. 10). This broader version is imitated in the following bars and

leads to a climax through the raising of the registers and the swelling crescendo

from b. 40. The actual climax of this development comes at the beginning of b. 44

(fortissimo), after which the tension again subsides in preparation

for the recapitulation. In the recapitulation itself, the A-material is repeated intact,

although it now begins an octave lower. The B-theme is repeated starting in b. 54,

a minor third lower than in the exposition. Passing through a small elaboration

of the thematic development, the recapitulation matches the exposition note

for note from b. 62 (cf. b. 15). This analogy continues, for the most part,

at the beginning of the reprise of the C-segment. This concluding segment is,

however, somewhat extended, achieving a sense of fi nality through the lessening

of the dynamics, the absence of a rhythmic pulse and the repetition of slower motifs.

The second movement (Andante funerale, 4/4, E=54, 38 bb.), is conceived as a slow

funeral march. In formal terms, it more or less forms a continuous unity, although

there are several caesuras that result from small differences in texture and repetitive

patterns. The movement begins with an introduction (bb. 1-4) in which a slow bass

line in the left hand (a) is combined with an ostinato and a motif in the right hand

which is constantly changing to some extent (doux mais incisif) (b). Both elements

are reminiscent of the beginning of the fi rst movement, despite the very different

sounding result. From b. 5 a lyrical, even elegiac soprano melody is built on this

foundation (c - espressivo). In a fi rst phase, this melody continues until b. 18.

Over the course of two transitional bars (bb. 18-19), only the ostinato motif continues (b).

From b. 20 a second melodic line develops, paraphrasing the fi rst and completely

matching its character. Structurally, it functions as a variant of the theme. From

b. 27, the original theme is indeed literally reprised. This reprise continues to bar 32

(bb. 27-32; cf. bb. 5-10). After this the melody stops and once again only the ostinato

motif (b) remains, this time together with an unmoving bass note. Through the extension

of the length of the rests between the ostinato motifs in the fi nal bars (bb. 35-38),

the motorial drive, which determines the coherence of the whole movement, comes

to a standstill.

Both the character and the style of the fi nal movement (Allegro Giocoso, 3/4,

E=126, 90 bb.) suggest a classical rondo form. The lively main theme (A) is immediately

presented (b. 1, with direct repetition in b. 10) and subsequently in quasi-unaltered

form in b. 35 (and b. 44) and in b. 65 (and b. 74). The basic structure of the composition

is then built naturally on this triple repetition. Between the respective A-sections

there are contrasting passages, further articulating the rondo form. These passages,

however, provide absolutely no contrast in terms of character, since the giocoso

dynamics race on more or less without stopping through the whole movement.

The contrast is found, rather, in the fact that in the passages in question the thematic

material from A is handled more freely. The fi rst contrasting segment can be isolated

from bar 19, when there is not only a sudden lessening of the dynamics (piano subito)

but also the establishment of an ostinato rhythm on staccato quavers. The second

contrasting segment then assumes a less prominent role, but is discernible starting

at the diminuendo in bar 52. The reduced dynamics and complexity of texture

(reduction to two voices) is related to the introduction of a lyrical phrase, which

on closer inspection is an augmented variant of a passage from the main theme

(compare bb. 54-56 with bb. 13-22).

The third A-segment (from b. 65) develops a coda function from bars 75/76.

First, this works towards a fade-out rallentando (bb. 85-86); the rondo motif is then

repeated one last time in bar 87, after which the composition reaches a forceful

conclusion.
