Scherzo Amoroso

A scherzo of moderate length for violin, cello and piano. I gave the piece it's title due to the sexual nature of the main theme and the romantic development section. (romantic in the sense of loving, not the musical aesthetic) It's mostly an abstract expression, though.

It's set in an altered, minimal sonata form where the cadencial material kind of serves as both a bridge and a second theme. The development contains a minor mode treatment of a motive taken from the exposition, and the immediate breaking down of this texture. (as if mocking it)

An interesting thing is that I first conceived this theme 2 years ago, as a quartet for guitar, flute, piano and violin. It was, of course utterly unplayable.. Later on i made about 3 renditions for piano which were acceptable, but boring, and lastly I made a version for flute, violin and piano which I never finished.. and lost, unfortunately. This 'ere here is the only completed version of the theme.

Have.. uhh, fun.. :whistling:

How can music be sexual?

Ok. Now I know how. Lol.

How can music be sexual?

Liszt wrote an orgasm once

Liszt wrote an orgasm once

hahahha, that

hahahha, that

yes, if you make alot of noise

ahahhahah, yes but it would be heard to hear the piece, don

You guys are funny. ;) And yes, I am from Norway. And yes, music can be sexual - I see most, if not all, of Beethoven's music as sexual. (of course there's more to it than sex, but the physical aspect is so prominent it's not even funny)

Thanks for your comments, those that actually commented.

PS: [/size']I'm uncertain about the flute part - will the piano overpower it in some areas? If so, in which areas?

Still wondering.

Well, as a flautist, I would say that there probaly won't be any problems hearing the flute, especially as you keep towards its higher range almost the whole way through the piece. I would think you'd have more problems with the cello, towards the middle of the piece...

Anyway, as always I love this piece, especially the main theme and that awesome cello motif that starts at bar 81.;)

It's a violin. :)

(thanks for your help, though :P)

Ah.

Well, my midi plays it as a cello. I used a wierd program to open it though, so it's my fault. oops:P.

Liszt wrote an orgasm? Is that piece published? I would really like to hear it :)

The piece is very nice, indeed funny:D

I really like the dialogues between the instruments. Nice theme!

Do you base the atonality and so on knowledge or just on a feeling? For me it's very hard to write such atonal and dissonant music, wich I like.

I tried to find sexuality in this piece but didn't find it :)

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Do you base the atonality and so on knowledge or just on a feeling?

Both, really - I suppose you could call it ''knowledge assimilated from feeling''. Heh.

Our take on the concept probably differs, then. :)

Liszt's Mephisto Waltz represents an orgasm.

The episode at the village inn, which Liszt chose, ("The Dance / Village Inn / Wedding. Music and Dance") is of a rather erotic nature: Faust and Mephistopheles as hunter enter an inn where a wedding party is being held. Mephistopheles takes a fiddle from one of the minstrels, tunes it (represented in the music by the 5ths build up at the start of the piece) and plays a frantic dance. The music slows for an amorous new waltz theme which intoxicates the village peasants. Even the "echoing walls" of the inn "lament, pale with jealousy, because they cannot join in the dancing." Faust takes advantage of this and dances with the bride, a black-eyed beauty (not "Gretchen" but "Hannchen"), and after some wooing, elopes into the woods with the young girl..., a nightingale sings a tune, and the music builds to an exciting climax when the pair is "swallowed up by the impetuous waves of amorous rapture." Before the climax of this "rapture" the sensual lyrical theme of the Waltz reappears, diabolically distorted, as a shockingly vulgar pop song.

As for the piece, it is highly interesting and very creative. I love the chord progressions, too.

Keep up...:P
