PHONETIC-MUSICAL EXERCISE & PIANIST’S STUTTERING ARIA for piano and voice;
Excerpt from the stage work The Musical Seminar (1982)
Gheorghe Costinescu, piano and voice
In the play, five instrumentalist-singer-actors, additional dancer-actors, and musicians explore various aspects of spoken languages, musical styles, and the musical phenomenon in general.
In this video excerpt, as presented with me playing the piano and performing the vocal parts, the ensemble practices “phonetic-musical consonance-dissonance” in voiced and whispered emissions. Suddenly, the pianist has “s-s-something to-to-to say.” As the other musicians make fun of his stutter, he asserts himself, initiating a frantic dialog with the now-stuttering ensemble.
