Programme notes: "Ouverture Bravoure", op.16, is a dynamic and powerful composition for symphonic wind orchestra by Russian composer Georgy Salnikov. Known for his innovative and technically demanding works, Salnikov demonstrates his ability to transform energy and expressiveness into music in this overture. The composition is divided into three distinctive sections: Allegro con brio, a tempo, cantabile and piu mosso, each presenting different moods and musical themes. Georgy Salnikov (1923-2015) was a respected Russian composer and conductor. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory and made a name for himself through his diverse compositions, which range from chamber music to orchestral works to wind orchestra pieces. Salnikov's music is characterized by its lyrical melodicism, complex harmonic language and rhythmic vitality. The "Ouverture Bravoure" is a multi-layered composition that impressively showcases the skill and expressiveness of a symphonic wind orchestra. The different sections of the overture offer a varied and exciting musical journey. - Allegro con brio: The first section is characterized by a lively and energetic atmosphere. The music begins with powerful, striking motifs presented by the brass and percussion. This opening passage is full of dynamism and rhythmic vitality, which immediately captivates the listener. The fast runs and intense chords create an exciting and festive mood. - In the second section, a tempo, cantabile, the mood changes to a calmer and more lyrical atmosphere. Here Salnikov shows his ability to compose beautiful, cantabile melodies. The woodwinds take over the main melody, which flows smoothly and expressively through the orchestra. This part of the overture provides a strong contrast to the energetic first section and allows the musicians to show their ability for expression and phrasing. - Piu mosso: The final section, piu mosso, brings the energy and tempo back up. The music becomes faster and livelier, and the themes from the first section return in altered form. This section is characterized by increasing tension and dynamics, building towards a powerful and triumphant conclusion. The virtuoso passages and complex rhythmic structures place great demands on the orchestra, requiring precise interplay and technical skill. Salnikov makes full use of the wide range of a symphonic wind orchestra. The brass, woodwinds and percussion are used in various combinations to create a rich and varied soundscape. The overture is characterized by complex rhythms and dynamic contrasts. These elements add to the tension and drama of the work, keeping listeners constantly on the edge of their seats. Salnikov's melodic lines are both powerful and lyrical, creating a balanced mix of energy and emotionality. The harmonic structures are rich and varied, underscoring the musical depth and sophistication of the work. Georgy Salnikov's "Ouverture Bravoure" is often performed at concerts and festivals by wind orchestras and is extremely popular. The work not only offers a musical challenge for the musicians, but also an exciting and stirring experience for the audience. The mix of celebratory energy and emotional depth makes this overture an outstanding example of Salnikov's skill as a composer. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
