Beethoven's Quartet op.18-2 のOriginal 版演奏会 [音楽時評]

先日の東京都交響楽団B定期で,上原彩子さんが,ソリストの意向を受け入れた幾度目かの改訂版ではなく,作曲当初の原典版に戻して演奏され,たいへん新鮮なモノを感じることが出来ましたが,イギリスで,この度,Beethoven の Quartet op.18-2 を,作曲者自身が後に書き直したモノではなく,最初に書き上げられ時点のオリジナルな第2楽章が復元されて,それに従った演奏会が開かれて話題になっています.

以下の記事は,アメリカCBCテレビの報道からの引用ですが,Manchester 大学教授の研究の成果として,200年前の原典版が復元され,たとえBeethoven は書き直したとしても,これほどの大作曲家のオリジナル版も名曲だとしてManchester で通して演奏され,それはそれで傑作だとして話題になっています. 

The team at the University of Manchester performed what called it a reconstructed version because they had to piece it together from musical notes left behind by the great composer.
Still, Ludwig von's trash is someone else's masterpiece! というのです.

It's not as if Beethoven's musical legacy needs enhancing. He's left a body of some of the world's most famous and powerful work, which may be why even the stuff he didn't like is still good enough for us now, and why a discarded bit of musical scribbling is now considered a major find.
として,アメリカにまで紹介されています.

  

Lost Beethoven sonata found after 200 years

By Mark Phillips
(CBS News)

The music world is buzzing over the performance of a Beethoven piece that had been lost for more than 200 years.

"Roll Over, Beethoven," it isn't, observers CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips, but the piece of music performed by a quartet in Manchester, England, has the classical music world all atwitter -- in the old way.

They're excited. The reason for the excitement is that the movement, part of Beethoven's String Quartet in G, Opus 18 number 2 -- its full name -- is billed as a lost sonata, now found - from 1800.

The team at the University of Manchester performed what called it a reconstructed version because they had to piece it together from musical notes left behind by the great composer.

The original work was never completed and published because Beethoven didn't like it enough to keep it. He threw it away and wrote another version, which everybody admits is better.

Still, Ludwig von's trash is someone else's masterpiece!

"I sense," says University of Manchester Professor of Music David Fanning, "people were listening very intently, and the reception for the first performance was extraordinary.

It's not as if Beethoven's musical legacy needs enhancing. He's left a body of some of the world's most famous and powerful work, which may be why even the stuff he didn't like is still good enough for us now, and why a discarded bit of musical scribbling is now considered a major find.
