(brass quintet)
The Swabian folk song "Muss i denn, muss i denn zum Städtele hinaus" has probably been known in its original form since the beginning of the 18th century. The origin of the song is attributed to the Rems Valley, a region between Ludwigsburg and the Swabian Alb. The melody of this piece, also known as the "Schwabenliedle", was taken up by the composer and music teacher Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860), supplemented by two verses by his friend and Stuttgart poet Heinrich Wagner and finally made accessible to a wide audience through its publication in 1827. The song later achieved international fame through interpretations by well-known singers such as the Comedian Harmonists and Elvis Presley.
The Czech composer and conductor Pavel Staněk (1927-2025) now joins this collection of great artists. Based on the conceptual idea of "Theme and Variations", Staněk composed a Capriccio - an idiosyncratic, whimsical piece - for brass quintet. According to the subtitle, it presents the song in very different ways: sometimes progressive and decisive, sometimes reserved and thoughtful, sometimes cheerful and cheerful, sometimes wistful and melancholy. Drawing on his enormous artistic and musical knowledge and skills, the composer moves effortlessly between different musical genres from baroque music to jazz in these miniatures. As one of his last published works, this Capriccio also provides a little information about Staněk's multifaceted personality, which - always stylistically confident and open to new ideas - was at home in different musical worlds.
