PROGRAMME NOTES

Duende Duato's 'Ideas' lor a choreography are almost always preceded by his choic In rt'üsle, which characterises his worklng method. Thls applles to Duende In particular, because Ihe mlJ'jiC\'Vas Ihe only source 01 inspira tion lor tl'is ballet. Long ago Duato lell ln love wlth Debussy, especial ly because 01 \he way the composer makes nalure sound in music. '¡"IIhen he listen s to Ihis musle, Duato visuaiises shapes, not people, relatlonshíps or even l s. This is why he considers Duende as an almost sculptural work: a body, a movement,

t goes wlt h l he l une.

Duende literally means e l ve~ il nd fairies , Ilke the ones who tidy up children's toys al ni gl1!, but il can also mean rascal, a naughty child. One

ca n also possess

duende, when rad,ating ene rgy and grea t charm, almost havlng a rna ical attractlon. In Andalusla it is said flamen co has duende, w hich can hardly be lra nslated into anolher la nguage. Fld mí?nCO has a touch 01 'spell', one mlght say, like the way bla 'musie has 'sou l'.

At the beglnnlng 01 lhe 20th century Debussy was an unk nown com poser, and l he publlc was suddenly IIslening to absolu tely dilferent sounds . 5lrange, bea utlful and mag lca l, as hey must have been, these sounds hdVe Id ent llled his complex cul tural roolS. Debussy 's rn U51C reveals classic and rorna nlíc orig rns ­ apar t fronl con nections with lay musie, folk songs, Arab, eas tern and si ve cu ltures, and even with jazz Classicism m y sim ply be expla ined as con,ecra ted lo form . In this sense , Roma ntlC islTI i5 usu ~lly defined as Ihe expres,IM ef emotions. However, the rela íonshlP between Deb ussy and these two concepts is no l always as simple , Form ar1 d emotion are alw ays present in his mu ie, blJt more as Ihe resu lt of a proce.ss of insinualion tha n one 01 dellnit ion . In one of hls ru les or composers, Debussy wrote: "DiSCipline must be looked for in freedom", this cou ld be considered hl s first conlma nd , Deb ussy Is frequen tly identified w ith the im pressio nisl artistic movement: but whereas painters like Monet gave a grea t importa nce lO light, Debussy was mai nly inte resled 111 Ihe qua lity and effecl of sound. Comments of Debu ssy about Stravinsky were that "he was wide nlng the. borders 01 the allowed In t he empire of sound", and Ihis could undoubtedly be referred to In his own work,

Petite Mort The prestig ious Czech cho reograp her Jlri Kylián relies on Compa nia Nacional de Danza 10 perform one of hls mos! im pressive choreographies. His \Nork Petite

Mort \Nas staged for the lirs! time by the Nederlan ds Dans Thealer in 1991.

Kylián creale d Ihis ballet especially lor Ihe Sa lzbu rg Festiva l in commemoration

01 !he seco nd cen!ena ry 01 Mozart's death. For this \N(')rk he chose l he slow tempos of two of Mozar!'s most beautrful and popular piano concertos. "This
