Seller's Description:
As New. Written by Olivier Messiaen in the German prison camp Stalag VIII A, the 'Quartet for the End of Time' premiered on 15 January 1941. The musicians (on piano, clarinet, cello and violin) played broken instruments, dressed in ragged clothing and wooden clogs, before an audience of five thousand. To quote Messiaen, 'The most diverse classes of society were mingled: farmers, factory workers, intellectuals, professional servicemen, doctors, [and] priests. Never before have I been listened to with such attention and understanding. ' Inspired by the first six verses from the tenth chapter of Revelation, the Quartet attests to, in the words of acclaimed clarinetist and professor of music Rebecca Rischin, 'the eternal freedom of the spirit over the temporal captivity of the body. ' Rischin examines the fascinating history of the Quartet and its players, encompassing the events that led to its composition and first performance, the experiences of the musicians in the prison camp and the composer's relationship with the German camp officials, whose love of music made the Quartet's composition and performance possible. She also follows the fortunes of the musicians after the momentous premiere. A devoted Catholic, Messiaen 'imagined the moment in which there would be no more Time, in which Time would rejoin Eternity. ' Three appendices include the composer's preface to the work, selected discography, and additional commentary. 175 pp.
