\n”En eldfluga skimrade till. ’S\u00e5g du?’, ville jag s\u00e4ga, men jag var ensam”.\u00a0\u00a0 (Sodapopsky)<\/span><\/h5>\n


\nZegei Sodapopsky, f\u00f6dd 1 april 1937. Mystiskt f\u00f6rsvunnen den 28 mars 1983 under oklara omst\u00e4ndigheter, var en rysk-amerikansk banbrytande tons\u00e4ttare, pianist och dirigent.<\/strong> Sodapopsky \u00e4r mest k\u00e4nd f\u00f6r sina fyra pianokonserter, tre symfonier och omfattande s\u00e4regna produktioner runt hans stora passion – The Baloney Theorem<\/strong><\/em>. En s\u00e4rling och ensam pionj\u00e4r inom denna av samtiden ofta negligerade inrikting. Senare tolkad av bl.a. Allen Ginsberg och Philip Glass.<\/p>\n

Modern var pianol\u00e4rarinna och pappa slaktare varp\u00e5 han tidigt l\u00e4rde sig spela allehanda instrument, ofta vardagliga f\u00f6rem\u00e5l och verktyg\u00a0och som s\u00e5 sm\u00e5ningom blev en av sin tids stora virtuoser p\u00e5 s.k. living instruments<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sodapopsky studerade musik vid bland annat konservatoriet i St. Petersburg och Moskva. Han flyttade till USA 1967 och \u00e5terv\u00e4nde aldrig till sitt hemland, som dock alltid fanns n\u00e4rvarande i hans musik. Hans senare verk vittnar om hans \u00f6kande fascination f\u00f6r Choses qui se mangent<\/strong><\/em>, enligt m\u00e5nga ospelbara stycken som\u00a0El\u00e9gie pour Saucisses\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>och Requiem de Macaroni Rapide<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0Idag har\u00a0dock Sodapopsky r\u00f6nt ett st\u00f6rre intresse bland nutida minimalistiska tons\u00e4ttare,\u00a0och \u00e4r kanske mest k\u00e4nd f\u00f6r hans triumferande Divertimenti sur une saucisse g\u00e9ante perdu<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sodapopsky anses vara den siste komposit\u00f6ren inom den romantiska musikepoken. I hans musik \u00e5terfinns starka romantiska k\u00e4nslosvall,\u00a0en n\u00e4stan\u00a0obegriplig\u00a0fixering vid The Baloney<\/strong> Theorem<\/strong><\/em> som f\u00f6rklaring och modell \u00f6ver kosmos tillkomst, kontraster, tekniskt sv\u00e5ra passager och influenser fr\u00e5n s\u00e5v\u00e4l diversiv\u00a0hissmusik som avancerad punktation. Hans pianomusik \u00e4r ofta tekniskt mycket kr\u00e4vande, exempelvis L’amore delle tre salsiccia<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Sodapopsky var en tekniskt bl\u00e4ndande pianist, men drog sig inte f\u00f6r att spela p\u00e5\u00a0s.k. containerfynd\u00a0och ex.vis resv\u00e4skor (!), d\u00e4r han med sin uttrycksfulla och patenterade Ready-Made <\/strong><\/em>instrumentering, och delvis s\u00e4regna spelstil, framf\u00f6rde egna och andras verk. Hans stora h\u00e4nder \u00e4r omtalade (kunde n\u00e5 ett intervall p\u00e5 13 toner).<\/p>\n

En samling odaterade anteckningar p\u00e5 l\u00f6sa partiturblad, mirakul\u00f6st funna 1997 av en slump i ett rivningshus p\u00e5 237 West 23rd Street, mellan sjunde och \u00e5ttonde\u00a0avenyn i New York,\u00a0<\/strong>tolkades\u00a0till ett experimentellt tonspr\u00e5k\u00a0filtrerat genom tystnad\u00a0av v\u00e4nnen Scriabin till ett verk f\u00f6r diktafon (jfr. ”The Wall of Silence<\/strong>”<\/em>), dock ofullbordat, och aldrig spelat. Sodapopsky menade att\u00a0vad det F\u00f6rseglade\u00a0Ordet<\/em> <\/strong>(eg. Baloney) d\u00f6ljer ska h\u00f6ras mellan raderna. Ett tonfall. H\u00e4r i sin ursprungliga form, obearbetat\u00a0(as it was<\/em>);<\/span><\/p>\n

”Again the thoughts come back\u00a0swirling<\/strong> around the\u00a0Fourth Baloney Symphony. Morning Glory. Cigarette. In the bright spring sun out on the stairway. Radiators turned off for the season,\u00a0warmer outdoors. Phone call yesterday from Shostakovich. He announced that Arseny\u00a0was dead. He was sitting as usual on his chair and played on his lips as he has been obsessed with recently, and suddenly fell down dead. like a bird on his arm. 52 years, may he rest in peace. He robbed a bank any given time. biked home with the spoils. The money under the bed.\u00a0Well, it lends him some respect. Our best bank robber for a friend has left us.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0bloody spring light<\/strong>. Calling Shostakovich back again and cursed his string quartets. Reflections on the damn baloney strings again. People do not understand. Me neither. It is not intended to.\u00a0I have not tried to create something, there’s no fucking sense! I\u00a0just\u00a0tried\u00a0to create some order out of chaos! Good expression, so be it!<\/p>\n

Played part of The Suitcase Sonett for Shostakovich<\/strong> over the phone. I’m stuck. O gentle youth, fill me again!\u00a0Liston was never the same after the loss to Ali. His tragedy\u00a0was taking\u00a0boxing too seriously. His suicide is something between humor and outmost seriousness. In some ways, mixed with a vague smile, you can\u00a0not but pay tribute to\u00a0such a well-executed suicide. Some whiskey mixed with a lot of sleeping pills, on top of a skyscraper. Then he shoots himself on the edge of the roof and fall… down… like\u00a0King Kong.<\/p>\n

What has happened since then is unknown to me<\/strong>. But we do not know\u00a0his age\u00a0when he died. I say as my late father – ”Everything will be fine, except the sausage which was two”. Never really\u00a0understood, but it’s good. In its simplicity, deeply embedded lies the hope that everything will go well, until that day comes, when the sausage was two. I hope I will not watch the show. Damn that bloody omen.”<\/p>\n
