Description:
Auftragswerk von I Teatri in Reggio Emilia für den 9. Internationalen Streichquartettwettbewerb 'Premio Paolo Borciani', Reggio Emilia (12.-19. Juni 2011) Das Streichquartett mit dem bildhaften Namen 'Chiaroscuro' von Gija Kantscheli entstand im Auftrag des 9. Internationalen Streichquartettwettbewerbs 'Premio Paolo Borciani' 2011, bei dem der georgische Komponist Juror war. Der Begriff ist der Kunstgeschichte entlehnt. Hier wird mit 'chiaroscuro' eine in der Renaissance und im frühen Barock entwickelte Maltechnik bezeichnet, die sich pointiert mit Hell-Dunkel-Kontrasten beschäftigt. Rembrandt etwa war ein früher Meister dieser Technik. In manchen seiner Gemälde sind Abschnitte dargestellter Gesichter so abgedunkelt, dass man die Züge gar nicht mehr erkennen kann. --------------------------------------------------------- Commissioned by I Teatri in Reggio Emilia for the 9th International String Quartet Competition 'Premio Paolo Borciani', Reggio Emilia (12-19 June 2011) The string quartet with the picturesque name 'Chiaroscuro' by Giya Kancheli was commissioned by the 9th International String Quartet Competition 'Premio Paolo Borciani' 2011, at which the Georgian composer was on the jury. The term is borrowed from the field of art history. Here 'chiaroscuro' refers to a painting technique developed in the Renaissance and early Baroque which is specifically concerned with contrasts between bright and dark. Rembrandt, for example, was an early master of this technique. In some of his paintings, sections of faces represented are so darkened that one can hardly recognise the features.
