Description

In retrospect, the world premiere of Helmut Lachenmann's "Allegro sostenuto" in December 1989 at the Cologne Philharmonie can be seen as a kind of re-birth of chamber music in the late 20th century. in countless concerts and at least four CD recordings, Lachenmann's large-scale clarinet trio has since offered ample evidence that "it has a clarity of contour coupled with a shading of sonorities that I cannot imagine anywhere else besides Debussy" (Jürg Stenzl). The new performing score will considerably facilitate the access to the work.

As in my earlier work "Ausklang" for piano with orchestra, here, too, the musical material is determined by a mediation between the experience of "resonance" ("tenuto" variations between a "secco" sound and natural or artificial "laisser-vibrer") on the one hand, and "movement" on the other. Both aspects of the sounds confront each other in the conception of structure as a highly ambivalent "arpeggio", i. e. as a successively experienced process of building up, tearing down, and rebuilding, which is also communicated within the briefest space of time as a figurative gesture, as if it were a projection onto larger surfaces.

Form and expression result in the combination of six successively ordered zones: A broad opening sequence (1), which traverses down through sonic space, presents a "legato" cantilena of simple – both natural and artificial, direct and indirect, "false" as it were – extensions of the resonance or fields of resonance, the last of which are cadenced to a stand-still ("Standstill" here is a concept in which resonance and movement in their most extreme forms come in contact). (2) is a variously subdivided play of terraces "drying out" between "secchissimo" and total pedalisation. in the actual "allegro" section (3), resonance appears to flow in a motion with intense velocity – or vice versa. Interrupted and diverted by a sort of "deflated hymn", (4) is a recitative of calls in spaces that resonate to various degrees, including some "dead" spaces. in (5) they find their way back to movement, escalating, consuming themselves in marginal regions of the violently perforated instrumental sound. Feathering out, as it were, a final cadence (6) is composed of mixtures, in whose inner life resonance and movement once again become merged.

(Helmut Lachenmann, translated by Steven Lindberg and edited by Richard Steinitz / program notes for the Huddersfield Festival 2000)

Very Firm Latex Medium, Appears Well-made
Size: Standard (Medium)
I love latex pillows, used them for decades. Then I got led astray! My neck reminded me I need firm, but soft and bouncy. This pillow is surprisingly firm for a medium. So think twice before ordering firm.

Comfortable but smaller than a standard pillow.
Size: Standard (Medium)
The pillow is bit smaller than standard length wise. It takes a while for the smell to go away. Very comfortable pillow.

Remarkable and impressive pillow
Size: Standard (Medium)
The pillow came quickly and was what was expected. After 6 months of chronic neck pain, one night on this pillow has made a world of difference. Please buy one of these if you are on the fence. They are wonderful. Highly recommend.

Not any more breathable than other pillows
Size: Standard (Medium)
I got this in hopes that it would be cooler than other pillows but it seems to hold the same amount of heat. Additionally, as a side-sleeper, it is too thick for me. It is however pretty comfy and seems to be made out of quality material. As other reviews stated, it was smelly at first but that went away within a week.
