Hisato Ohzawa (大澤壽人 Ōzawa Hisato) +••.••(...)) - Piano Concerto No 2 (1935) 0:00 Allegro 10:44 Andante quasi adagio 17:13 Quasi presto Ekaterina Saranceva, Piano, Russian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky Recorded at Studio 5 of the Russian State TV & Radio Company KULTURA, Moscow, from 16th to 19th March, 2006 Hisato Ohzawa, one of the foremost Japanese composers of the first half of the twentieth century, studied in the 1930s in Boston and Paris. As with many of his other works written in the 1930s, Piano Concerto No. 2 combines elements of jazz, impressionism and Japanese-style melodies. Piano Concerto No. 2 was written in Paris in the spring of 1935. In this work, as in many of his other works written in the 1930s, various elements of neo-classicism, jazz, expressionism, impressionism and Japanism are reflected. The concerto is closely related to Symphony No. 2 in various aspects, including its main motifs. The instrumentation is for an orchestra with irregular double winds. The first movement Allegro, written basically in G minor, has three main motifs. The first of these, which is made up of two quavers descending from D to C (major second), is initially offered by the orchestra. The second motif is presented by the piano. In contrast to the first motif, which features a narrow interval of a major second and impulsive rhythms, this second motif is characterized by many octave leaps over a wide range, suggesting jazz improvisation. Immediately after that, the brass and the strings play the third motif, accompanied by the cymbals beaten with the sticks. The opening pattern of this motif is the same as that of the first motif (the major second descending from D to C), and is followed by a broad pattern slowly ascending an octave. The three main motifs are treated very freely and make up a kind of sonata form. The development section is opened with the strings' fugato based on the third motif. In the recapitulation, which is transfigured considerably, various types of sub-motifs are generated from the first and the second motifs. The second movement, Andante quasi adagio, coloured by Japanese-style melodies, carries an introduction, where the solo piano predicts the main theme, reflecting a combination of classical music, jazz and Japanism. After the introduction, followed by a one-bar jazzy episode on bassoons and trombones, the piano presents the main theme, which is based on a Min'yo scale (E - G - A - B - D, often found in the folk-music of Japanese peasants and fishermen) and suggests an elegy sung at night by a singer who has come to a city from the countryside. The theme is transfigured and developed in a variety of patterns, interspersed with subordinate elements in the mood of Japanese ancient children's songs. The Quasi presto finale expresses the basic character of this concerto most boldly of the three movements: a melting pot of neo-classicism, jazz, Japanism, Orientalism, chromaticism and polytonality. As the composer himself called the movement "gigue," it is actually ruled by a gigue-like syncopated main theme in 6/8. There are two cadenzas for the soloist and the movement closes brilliantly on C. The concerto was dedicated to Henri Gil-Marchex, the soloist for the première.
