Hommage a Gustav Mahler - Zdeněk Zahradník

20. září 2007

The symphonic movement Hommage a Gustav Mahler by Zdeněk Zahradník (*1936) has two thematically connected parts. The first slow one (Adagio) follows the form of a sonata. In dreamy allusions, there are elements of the lapidary theme of the second part at its beginning. When the main theme, consisting of two short contrast parts, is exposed, the second lyrical theme follows. The latter is formed by a widely arched melody interrupted by a brusque final theme. Both themes are interwoven and they form a continuous gradation where at its climax there is a repeat with a secondary theme which gradually breaks up and divides.

The second part (Allegro vivo) follows up with an evolutionary developed theme, out of which continuous gradation arises, dominated by the main theme of the first part. After a short cease, a reminiscence of the secondary theme (Meno mosso) and an extensive coda come, graduating to the end of the whole piece.
