Ein zentrales Motiv in Tostos Gedichten ist f\u00fcr mich der Efeu: Die rankende Pflanze, die ans Licht giert und sich dabei an ihren Baum klammert. Tosto nennt sie \u00bbsinister\u00ab, eine \u00bbgrausame Pflanze\u00ab, die \u00bbumklammert\u00ab und \u00bbumtzingelt\u00ab. Diese Eigenschaften wollte ich mit musikalischen Mitteln konturieren: Eine zarte, suchende Sch\u00f6heit, die sich mit ihren Ausw\u00fcchsen festbei\u00dft und sich in den Untergrund frisst. Klanglich geschieht das insbesondere durch die spieltechnische Einbeziehung des Innenraum des Klaviers. Spr\u00f6de, kratzige und harsche Farben kontrastieren die harmonische Grundlage, welche sich wiederum auf die Verschachtelung von Dreikl\u00e4ngen st\u00fctzt. Ganz den Texten folgend, ist die Musik stets zu emotionalen Ausbr\u00fcchen bereit: Die Gef\u00fchlswelten und -wallungen des Erz\u00e4hlers werden \u2013 ohne dabei auf Pathos zu verzichten \u2013 musikalisch nachvollzogen und explizit dargestellt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, a central motif in Tosto’s poems is ivy: the climbing plant that craves light and clings to its tree. Tosto calls it \u00absinister\u00bb, a \u00abcruel plant\u00bb that \u00abclutches\u00bb and \u00abencircles\u00bb. I wanted to outline these characteristics with musical means: a delicate, searching beauty that bites into its surroundings with its excesses and eats its way into the ground. Sonically, this is achieved in particular by incorporating the interior of the piano into the playing technique. Brittle, scratchy and harsh colours contrast with the harmonic foundation, which in turn is based on the interlocking of triads. Following the lyrics closely, the music is always ready for emotional outbursts: the narrator’s emotional worlds and surges are musically recreated and explicitly portrayed, without sacrificing pathos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per me, un motivo centrale nelle poesie di Tosto \u00e8 l’edera: la pianta rampicante che brama la luce e si aggrappa al suo albero. Tosto la definisce \u00absinistra\u00bb, una \u00abatroce pianta\u00bb che \u00abassedia\u00bb e \u00abcinge\u00bb. Ho voluto delineare queste caratteristiche con mezzi musicali: una bellezza delicata e ricercata che si aggrappa con le sue escrescenze e si insinua nel sottosuolo. Dal punto di vista sonoro, ci\u00f2 avviene in particolare attraverso l’integrazione tecnica dell’interno del pianoforte. Colori fragili, graffianti e aspri contrastano con la base armonica, che a sua volta si basa sull’intreccio di triadi. Seguendo fedelmente i testi, la musica \u00e8 sempre pronta a esplosioni emotive: i mondi e le emozioni del narratore vengono riprodotti musicalmente e rappresentati in modo esplicito, senza rinunciare al pathos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
