Elegantiae tripudiorum - Jan Novák

4. květen 2009

Elegantiae tripudiorum, the elegance of the waltz: ten compositions that - besides individual qualities of each separate part - form one grand work of art: It is the Waltz itself that, dancing gracefully, enters the scene and guides both the listener and the performing artist through the entire waltz era and the sundry trends recognizable within the waltz style.

A fanciful fireworks display of the waltz form, Elegantiae tripudiorum portrays each individual waltz both with pantomimic perfection and human spontaneousness. An independent orchestral version of the work bears the subtitle "symphoniā minore". Judging by the Latin title of the composition, a generous measure of humour and elegance on the part of the composer is to be expected. Yet again, the author's humane existential worldview is palpable here: the waltz enters the history and then leaves it again, doing so with characteristic subtlety and elegance.
