Galina Ustvolskaya - Concerto for Piano, Strings and Timpani (1/2)

    “It is difficult to talk about one’s own music... my ability to compose music unfortunately does not coincide with the ability to write about it. There is, by the way, a commonly held view which says that the two are mutually exclusive...”[this quote needs a citation]

    “All who really love my music should refrain from theoretical analysis of it...”[this quote needs a citation]
    “My works are not, it is true, religious in a liturgical sense, but they are infused with a religious spirit, and to my mind they are best suited to performance in a church, without scholarly introductions and analyses. In the concert hall, that is, in ‘secular’ surroundings, the music sounds different...”[this quote needs a citation]

    “With regard to the ‘Festival of Music by Women Composers’ I should like to say the following: Can a distinction really be made between music written by men and music written by women? If we now have ‘Festivals of Music by Female Composers’, would it not be right to have ‘Festivals of Music by Male Composers’? I am of the opinion that such a division should not be allowed to persist. We should only play music that is genuine and strong. If we are honest about it, a performance in a concert by Women composers is a humiliation for the music. I hope very much that my comments will cause no offence – what I say comes from my innermost soul...”[this quote needs a citation]

    “My God! Give me the power to compose. I beg.”[this quote needs a citation]

Galina Ustvolskaya - Concerto for Piano, Strings and Timpani (2/2)







    Es difícil hablar sobre la música de uno... mi habilidad para componer música desafortunadamente no coincide con mi habilidad para escribir sobre ella. Existe, a propósito, un punto de vista comúnmente sostenido que dice que ambas (habilidades) se excluyen mutuamente...

    Todos aquellos que realmente amen mi música deberán abstenerse de someterla a análisis teórico...

    Mis obras no son, es verdad, religiosas en un sentido litúrgico, pero están imbuidas de un espíritu religioso, y a como yo lo veo son más aptas para ser interpretadas en una iglesia, sin introducciones de expertos ni análisis. En la sala de conciertos, eso es, en los alrededores "seculares", la música suena diferente...

    Con respecto al «Festival de Música de Mujeres compositoras» me gustaría decir lo siguiente: ¿Realmente puede hacerse una distinción entre música escrita por hombres y música escrita por mujeres? Si ahora tenemos «Festivales de Música de Mujeres compositoras», ¿no sería correcto tener «Festivales de Música de Hombres compositores»? Soy de la opinión de que no debería permitirse que tal división persista. Sólo deberíamos tocar música que es genuina y fuerte. Si somos honrados en eso, una interpretación en un concierto de mujeres compositoras es una humillación para la música. Espero sinceramente que mis comentarios no ofendan a nadie —lo que digo sale de mi más recóndito ser...
