Piano Elmar Schrammel: 7. Piano Direction: James Avery The history of the composition farben der frühe (colors of morning) for seven pianos by Mathias Spahlinger began in 1997, when the piece was commissioned by the former Süddeutscher Rundfunk (Southern German Broadcasting). The premiere was originally planned for late summer 1999, for the last Studio Project of the SDR/SWR, which was then followed by the series attacca. A third of the score was completed. In 2003 it was supposed to have its premiere, finally, at the ECLAT festival. Once again Spahlinger asked for a postponement. The work was then scheduled for ECLAT 2005, but that too failed to come to pass, for although the rough draft of the work had been completed written out, a clean copy could not be prepared in time. By setting a new date in November 2005, as part of the new series organized jointly by the Akademie Schloss Solitude, Musik der Jahrhunderte, the Forum Neues Musiktheater of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, and the SWR, it is hoped that the work will finally be heard. farben der frühe is work for seven pianos that fills an entire evening, and it will be realized by pianists from the circle around James Avery in Freiburg. The composer set himself the task of avoiding the “material-damaging” constant factor of noise found in New Music and to request and permit the fourteen hands to do nothing but dance on the white and black keys. A compositional venture of exemplary outrageousness, if one implies that these fifty-two keys and their three pedals have already been asked to resound in millions of highly differentiated ways. Moreover, the title presumably indicates that no noises are to be coaxed from the pianos: colors of the morning, that is, the old colors of the instrument in Beethoven’s time, but merely posited with new effect. The work will last at least eighty minutes and consists of six parts. HPJB DIE REIHE is a cooperation among the Akademie Schloss Solitude, the Forum Neues Musiktheater of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, Musik der Jahrhunderte, and the Südwestrundfunk (SWR).
