Métamorphoses. (Hommage à A. Scriabine). violin.

In 'Metamorphosen' - performed for the first time in March 2008 by Viviane Hagner at a Berlin gala concert marking the 80th birthday of the composer, only a few weeks before his death - Frank Michael Beyer refers to Scriabin's Piano Sonata No. 6 from 1911, a work the motivic and thematic penetration of which ahead of the serial technique had fascinated Beyer since his student days. Based on a scale found in Scriabin's works, Metamorphosen contrasts the frequently ecstatic nature of the piano setting with the linearity of the solo violin.
The strict structure is contrasted by the music's free character which Scriabin himself described as 'volando - flying'. Instrumentation : violin

In seinen "Metamorphosen" bezieht sich Beyer auf Skrjabins 6. Klaviersonate aus dem Jahr 1911 - ein Werk, dessen motivisch-thematische Durchdringung im Vorfeld der Reihentechnik Beyer seit seiner Studienzeit faszinierte. Beyers Stück beruht auf einer bei Skrjabin vorgefundenen Tonskala, setzten aber da dem vielfach Rauschhaften des Klaviersatzes die Linearität der Solovioline entgegen. Besetzung : violin
