Thinking about how this piece will sound after
1. I work on it a bunch
2. Someone works on the piano a bunch
Pretty great, will be how.

I don’t have this quite where I want it, but that’s nothing new. What’s different is how much I still want to get it righter. A bit off schedule, though, and gotta take my chances when they come.

To close the Op. 54 Marionetten, Bortkiewicz gives us Kasperl-Harlekin (or “Punch-Harlequin” in English, my sheets say, or “Guignol” en français). In this set, there’s a correlation — but I don’t think causation — between sounds-like-a-marionette and uses-whole-tone-scale.

The next-to-last of the Op. 54 Marionetten is #8, Teddybär (“Teddy Bear”).

Final Marionette tomorrow, a couple more Bortkiewicz pieces over the weekend, and then on to the next phase of this project.

I’m mildly musically offended by Bortkiewicz’s Marionetten Op. 54 #7, Der Chineser (~“The Chinese Man”), on two counts:

1. Whole-tone scales suggest many things, none of them Chinese

2. This one really evokes a marionette, which leaves me newly disappointed in the others; hmph

Bortkiewicz’s Op. 54 #6, Marquise, purportedly means “Marchioness”. That is not any sort of English — if indeed it is any at all — up with which I’ve previously had to put. The is scarcely longer than its title, though, and does make sense to my ears.

For today’s , if I had more time, I would have played shorter notes. Lots more staccato called for (and notated). Marionetten Op. 54 #4, Tirolerin (~“Tyrolean Lady”).

The marionettes from Bortkiewicz’s Op. 54 are apparently each representing a nation and/or culture, so let’s expect some of the names to have aged poorly. For today’s , #3 is relatively okay: Spanierin (~“Spanish Lady”).

I know, I know, it’s already been a few weeks of . But I keep finding lovely sets of to get into. Let’s get into another: the Op. 54 Marionetten, starting with Russisches Bauernmädchen (“Russian Peasant Girl”).

We’ve heard Bortkiewicz’s setting of Andersen’s Child in the Grave. Now, to close Op. 39, we hear his Der Tod der Mutter (“Death of the Mother”) from Tolstoy’s Childhood. Listen for these earlier themes:

0:00 Natalia
0:48 Grischa
1:38 Maman
2:22 Grischa
