Musikalisches Opfer Bwv 1079 On Electronic Instruments By Mehmet Okonsar

Bach's vocal combined with instrumental music was gradually starting to be more available

in print out, since the final ten years of the eighteenth century nonetheless Mendelssohn created a good solid greater interest of the very achievement of this music in early nineteenth century. Then in 1850, on the hundredth anniversary of Bach's death, the main "Johann Sebastian Bach Society" appeared to be established inside Germany. The actual Society's "raison d'etre" has been to present each musical work of Johann Sebastian Bach. This big project has been not really finished right until the main end of the very nineteenth century.

The six Brandenburg Concertos (BWV 1046-51), between several additional secular musical creations, date through his Cothen years. Bach started to be "Kantor" connected with the Thomas School within Leipzig in May 1723 and also kept the post till his dying.

It was basically inside Leipzig that he created the majority of his non secular and also secular cantatas.

Generally there is not any sharp historical hint regarding the organization in which the elements of the Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach has to be played neither with what order. Bach delivered the work, imprinted at his very own charge, to Frederick the Great in 3 parts, with no performance or instrumentation information, no program order, and also the canons were merely one-liners which the players would have to experience. So it is up to the actual producer as well as performers to work out on a program order, together with instrumentation.

Musical Offering has got its origins throughout a gathering between Bach and also Frederick II on May 7, 1747. The meeting, going on at the King's residence inside Potsdam, took place simply because Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel was basically applied there as court musician and performer.

Frederick wanted to exhibit J.S. Bach a uniqueness, the particular piano, one of the firsts ever made, which in turn had been created many years earlier. The King possessed some of the experimental instruments getting created from Gottfried Silbermann.

During his foretold journey to Frederick's palace inside Potsdam, Bach, who has been well well known for his particular proficiency at improvising, received from Frederick a lengthy and sophisticated musical theme on that to improvise a three-voice fugue. He did so, nonetheless Frederick then challenged him to improvise a six-voice fugue upon precisely the same theme.

The public present reckoned that just a malicious caprice basically by the King, who was intent at embarrassing philosophers and even music performers.

Bach answered that he would have to composition the actual score and also send it towards the King after. Then came to Leipzig to put in writing the "Thema Regium" (i.e. theme of the king).

Two months after the meeting, Bach published a collection of pieces centered upon this particular theme which we currently know as "The Musical Offering" BWV 1079.

Bach inscribed the piece "Regis Iussu Cantio Et Reliqua Canonica Arte Resoluta" (the theme offered by way of the king, along with add ons, resolved in the canonic style), the very first letters of which in turn spell out the term "Ricercar", a well-known genre of the time.

The particular "Thema Regium" looks like the theme for the very first in addition to final movements of the 7th Sonata within D Minor by Friedrich Wilhelm Rust, composed within 1788, and even also as the theme for the purpose of intricate variations by way of Giovanni Paisiello within his "Les Adieux de la Grande Duchesse des Russies," written within 1784, in his leaving from the court of Catherine the Great.

Mehmet Okonsar released an entire version of the BWV 1079 realized on electronic instruments.

Mehmet Okonsar was born in Istanbul (Turkey) and lived in Paris in the course of his initial instruction. He began studying piano at the National Conservatory of Ankara, with Nimet Karatekin and Necil Kazim Akses.

Franz Liszt for Mehmet Okonsar is certainly not a teen desire for pianistic exuberance and keyboard "pyro-technie". The training Okonsar obtained at the Brussels Royal Conservatory, from Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, who himself gained from Eduardo del Pueyo is really a direct heir from the Hungarian master. That is from the efforts of Marie Jaell, a pupil of Ferenc Liszt on which in turn every one of the manner of Eduardo del Pueyo is undoubtedly founded.

During this era associated with clash who has been the 1970's in Turkey, Okonsar linked on both friendly and professional basis with a pianist and conductor, ex-student of Pierre Sancan. Through this specific camaraderie he discovered the fundamentals of the keyboard concepts of Pierre Sancan who was the teacher of pianists like Michel Beroff and the student of Yves Nat.

Even at his very first public appearance in 1979, the specific eclecticism associated with his recital programs into the future might be observed. He presented a collection of the Preludes by Messiaen amongst others.

The piano studies of Okonsar finished with the top honors any student could ever get at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. "Premier Prix avec Distinction", performing the "Dante Sonata" by Liszt then "Diplome Superieur de Piano Avec la plus Grande Distinction, Premier Nomme", in 1986, performing the Piano Concerto Op. 42 by Arnold Schoenberg.

At the end of his piano studies, Okonsar obtained the actual advantage of working with most significant composers of Belgium: Madame Jacqueline Fontyn. He also studied with a pupil of Messiaen, Claude Ballif. In 1989 he receives his degrees in Composition-Orchestration from the Royal Conservatory of Music of Brussels.

"Performing through Turkey will not be unthinkable in our times" claims the pianist.

It holds true that he's specially secure using the computers and has now a really strong appearance on the Internet.

Okonsar is incredibly productive from Turkey where he performs, exercise, compose and also writes. He operates a CD company plus a publishing house.

Mehmet Okonsar's global career started off with the help of the 1st prize at the International Young Virtuoses Competition of Antwerp in 1982. His orchestral debut was the third Concerto by Rachmaninoff executed at the "de Singel" Concert Hall in Antwerp, Belgium. His additional prizes are: Paris, 1989, "J. S. Bach" at the Salle Gaveau: second prize; 1990, Rome, Association Chopin "Premio Etruria": 1st prize; and 1991, United States, Utah, the 6th prize at the "Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition".

Doing work widely on technical things, as he says "the actual technology could possibly "totally free" the artist", his experiments were being introduced in a lecture at the Yamaha head office in Hamamatsu, Japan.

Okonsar has executed recitals presenting the full piano works by Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Even though he declines most kind of "musical specialization", his repertoire is to a great extent on the "modern" side with Igor Stravinsky "Three Movements of Petrouchka" the "Sequenza" for the piano by Luciano Berio and also the Klavierstucke by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Every bit of the actual aspects that belong to the astounding work by J. S. Bach is really given along with amazing understanding and also essence throughout a selection of "sounds" and "instruments" practiced. Significantly more "human" compared to Wendy Carlos, substantially less "romantic" than Tomita the actual result happens to be honestly exciting.

Two specific imaginative options taken by the Mehmet Okonsar worth figuring. Very first he chose to utilize sampled traditional instruments (i.e. viols "da gamba") for the particular Sonate in Trio. The complete sound produced from those viols and even the block flute is spectacular. Second he by choice decided to present the "endless" canon a genuine endless component by not terminating the actual music but rather fading out its ending.

Most of the other earlier most important downloads associated with the great music composition often appeared to be unsatisfying if you ask me. Usually the orchestrations are really "too colossal" usually pompous. Very likely the pianist and composer Okonsar designed the very best modern day alternative regarding the instrumentation (which happens to be not stipulated throughout the music score). The Belgian musician and performer once expressed the fact that in the event that Bach was alive in the present day he would have tried electronic instruments due to the fact he seems to have been continually fascinated with the completely new sound sources of his particular time period.

The composer, conductor and musicologist as well as pianist Okonsar is undoubtedly one adept of the particular "Free Music" approach. All his releases continue to be shared through the entire 3rd party artist. This is without question a fabulous exciting approach which, according to the creator is going to be of large profit to both the main artist, the release together with the actual classical music community.

Additionally the main number one digital video site Youtube(r) possesses a lots of the pianist and composer Okonsar's playing videos. Normally his Disc publications are in addition uploaded as video clips into the artist's Youtube(r) channel: mokonsar.
