Zoltán Kodály – Duo für Violine und Violoncello, op. 7
Duettissimo mit Dalia Dedinskaite & Gleb Pyšniak (Finalisten des Casinos Austria Risning Star Award 2013)
Das Kodaly Duo
Nicht unweit von Haydns langjähriger Wirkungsstätte, Schloss Esterháza in Ungarn, begann 100 Jahre nach Haydns Tod ein junger Ungar Feldforschungen zur Folklore seiner Heimat: Zoltán Kodály. An der Seite Béla Bartóks machte er sich mit einem Edison-Phonographen und Notenpapier bewaffnet auf, um in den Jahren vor 1910 den Volksgesang der Bauern in den verschiedenen Regionen des riesigen Landes aufzuzeichnen.
In dem 1914 – am Vorabend des Krieges – komponierten Duo für Violine und Violoncello fanden diese Feldforschungen Kodálys ihren Niederschlag. Was er über die Pentatonik (Fünftönigkeit) in der ungarischen Volksmusik herausgefunden und bereits in einer ethnologischen Studie zu Papier gebracht hatte, übertrug er hier auf ein Konzertstück für zwei Streicher auf der Höhe der Zeit. Es ist ein hoch-virtuoses, zwischen ungarischer Folklore und französischem Impressionismus vermittelndes Duo für Violine und Violoncello. Freilich sind die pentatonischen Linien, mit denen es anhebt, auch eine klangmalerische Reminiszenz an die Alpen. Kodály begann das Stück in den österreichischen Alpen in Feldkirch. Nach seinem eigenen Zeugnis hat ihn die Silhouette der Berge zum Anfang des Duos inspiriert.
Der Musikjournalist Gerhard Pätzig hat in seiner Beschreibung des Duos die Bezüge zur volksmusikalischen Praxis betont: “Erster Satz. Der folkloristische Brauch, sich vor Beginn der Darbietungen auf den Instrumenten erst einmal improvisierend einzuspielen, während sich die Tänzerinnen und Sänger um die Musikanten herumgruppieren, wird mit einer kadenz-artigen Introduktion stilisierend angedeutet. Sodann intoniert die Violine das Hauptthema des Satzes, von zarten Pizzicato-Rhythmen des Cellos begleitet. Ein Rollentausch der beiden lnstrumente eskaliert zu einem lebhaften Dialogisieren… Zweiter Satz. Ein schwärmerisches Fantasieren des jeweils melodieführenden Instruments wird vom Partner zu einer überraschenden Fülle dynamisch abgestufter Begleitfarben und -figuren genutzt. Für Spannung sorgt ein grollender Mittelteil mit bewegtem Cello-Tremolo und rezitativischen Geigenepisoden. Der Satz lichtet sich mit lyrisch verhauchenden Geigenseufzern…
Dritter Satz. Zigeunergeigerisch fordert eine ausgedehnte Solokadenz der Violine zum Tanz auf. Zwei virtuose, von packenden Tonrepetitionen angeheizte Melodiefolgen entfalten ein schwungvoll bewegtes Spiel… Mit wilder Presto-Turbulenz endet das Kehraus-Finale.”
Mit mit diesem Stück war das Duo:
– Kodaly Preisträger der isa12
