Debussy Blanc Et Noir Program Notes

PROGRAM NOTES & TRANSLATIONS PROGRAM NOTES & TRANSLATIONS (for Sept. 15, 1999) Debussy: Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp note by Roy Howat (1988) In 1914 the outbreak of war reduced Claude Debussy - and several other artists - to almost complete silence, until, in Debussy's own words, he managed to 'rediscover music' in the summer of 1915, reaping a rich harvest of twelve piano Etudes, the two-piano suite En blanc et noir, the Cello Sonata, and the trio Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp.

It was to be almost Debussy's last work; the onset of his last illness left him with only enough strength to complete his Violin Sonata before his death in 1918. In a letter Debussy described the trio Sonata as 'in the ancient, flexible mould with none of the grandiloquence of modern sonatas.' Despite the war clouds filling Europe, it evokes inner worlds, sometimes through the masks of the Commedia dell'arte, sometimes through a feeling of dances of ancient times. For all its conciseness, its emotions are intense, and Debussy, on first hearing it performed, did not know whether to laugh or cry. Schoenberg: Fifteen Poems from 'The Book of the Hanging Gardens' The first performance of the Fifteen Poems from 'The Book of the Hanging Gardens' took place in Vienna on 14 January 1910.
