Acedia (Wagner-Elegie) Leo SvirskyScore

for piano Quatre-Mains

for Jeromos

The work consists of a (free) number of "stanzas". To initiate a "stanza" one pianist will depress the damper pedal. To end a stanza, the damper pedal is released. Following each stanza is a silence. During a stanza, both the pianists may play, hum, whistle, or silently depress the keys (or any combination thereof) a selection of phrases, chords, parts of phrases or parts of chords. Registration and voicing are free. Between every action (phrase, phrase-fragment etc.) is a pause. Always very quiet and introspective, with a subtle diminuendo and rubato.(During a stanza, players may also choose to remain silent.)

"As in those illusory figures that can be interpreted now in one way, now in another, all of its features thus describe in its concavity the fullness of that from which it is turned away..." -Giorgio Agamben
