Schmozart (2006) 10'
piano, violin, cello
The piece parodies an idea of composer as a medium and the situation
of transmitting/receiving revelation. Mozart was chosen as a source of
signal, i.e. as a figure representing the divine – or, rather, «Mozart»
representing «the divine». The author positions himself as a
transmitter of Mozartean stylistics and parasites on it. Do thus
composed wrenches value or they remain just distortions? Is something
added – sure not to Mozart but to «Mozart» – or it would be better to
listen to the original?
