Beschreibung
One for Two its a 'musical gift' written to thank Anne and Dan for their
kindness during my visit to Oslo in February 2014. They welcomed me into
their home with the warmth that characterises Nordic people... To get from
their house to Oslo city centre I took the metro. Before departure from each
station, a female voice said a melodious phrase in Norwegian which I didn't
understand, but which meant 'doors closing'. The intonation of this sentence
stayed with me, and I used it as the base of One for Two's melodic cell. The
piece is written in reversible counterpoint to allow each instrument to speak
in turn. Bernard Salles writes: One for two est un 'cadeau musical' écrit
pour remercier Anne et Dan de leur accueil lors de mon voyage à Oslo en
février 2014. Ils m'ont reçu en toute simplicité et avec la chaleur qui
caractérise les gens du Nord... Pour me rendre de leur maison au centre ville
d'Oslo j'empruntais le métro. Avant la fermeture des portes, une voix
féminine disait une phrase en Norvégien que je ne comprenais pas, mais qui
voulait dire: 'attention à la fermeture des portes'. Ceci de façon très
mélodique. j'ai repris cette intonation comme base de la cellule mélodique
de la pièce écrite en contrepoint renversable pour permettre à chaque
instrument de dialoguer à tour de rôle. One for two es un 'regalo musical'
escrito para agradecer Anne y Dan de su acogida durante mi viaje en Oslo en
febrero 2014. Me recibió en toda sencillez y con calor que caracteriza a la
gente del Norte... Para devolverme de su casa al centro ciudad de Oslo tomaba
el metro. Antes del cierre de las puertas, una voz femenina decía una frase
en Noruego que no comprendía, sino que quería decir: ' atención en el cierre
de las puertas '.Esto de modo muy melódico. Repetí esta intonación como base
de la célula melódica de la pieza escrita en contrapunto invertible para
permitir a cada instrumento dialogar por turno. Bernard Salles was born in
1954 and began his musical education in his home town of Perpignan (France)
