''Esquisses'' (Sketches), Op. 63 is a set of 49 short piano pieces by French composer Charles-Valentin Alkan and published in 1861. The pieces are divided into four books; the first pair of books and the last pair each comprise between them pieces in each of all the major and minor keys. Book 4 ends with an extra, unnumbered, piece, ''Laus Deo'', in C major. Unlike many other of Alkan's pieces, such as the Op. 33 Grand Sonate and the Op. 39 set of etudes in all the minor keys, these 49 pieces do not focus mainly on virtuosity and transcendentalism and instead contain more of Alkan's sentimental and evocative writing. Alkan's innovation is also vividly present in the pieces. The 45th piece, ''Les Diablotins'', features wrenched cluster chords and the 48th piece, ''En Songe'', is a dreamy and quiet piece all except for the very final chord, which is a sudden F major chord with the dynamic ''ff''. The 39th piece, ''Héraclite et Démocrite'', features two sharply contrasting themes for the respective philosophers, and at some passages Alkan overlaps the themes to create a solemn and sad theme in the left hand and a bouncy and joyous theme in the right. ==The Esquisses== ;Book 1 :# ''La Vision'' in C major :# ''Le Staccatissimo'' in F minor :# ''Le Legatissimo'' in D major :# ''Les Cloches'' in G minor :# ''Les Initiés'' in E major (features a quote from Aristophanes' ''The Frogs'' instead of a title in some editions) :# ''Fuguette'' in A minor :# ''Le Frisson'' in F-sharp major :# ''Pseudo-Naïveté'' in B minor :# ''Confidence'' in A-flat major :# ''Increpatio'' in C-sharp minor :# ''Les Soupirs'' in B-flat major :# ''Barcarollette'' in E-flat minor ;Book 2 :# :# ''Duettino'' in F major :# ''Tutti de Concerto dans le genre ancien'' in D minor :# ''Fantasie'' in G major :# ''Petit prélude à trois'' in E minor :# ''Liedchen'' in A major :# ''Grâces'' in F-sharp minor :# ''Petit marche villageoise'' in B major :# ''Morituri te salutant'' in G-sharp minor :# ''Innocenzia'' in D-flat major :# ''L'homme aux sabots'' in B-flat minor :# ''Contredanse'' in E-flat major ;Book 3 :# :# ''Petit air, Genre ancien'' in G minor :# ''Rigaudon'' in D major :# ''Inflexibilité'' (also known as ''Rigidité'') in A minor :# ''Délire'' in E major :# ''Petit air dolent'' in B minor :# ''Début de quatuor'' in F-sharp major :# ''Minuetto'' in C-sharp minor :# ''"Fais dodo"'' in A-flat major :# ''Odi profanum vulgus et arceo, Favete linguis'' in E-flat minor :# ''Musique militaire'' in B-flat major :# ''Toccatina'' in F minor ;Book 4 :# :# ''"Le ciel vous soit toujours prospére"'' (also known as ''Les bons souhaits'') in G major :# ''Héraclite et Démocrite'' in D minor :# ''"Attendez-moi sous l'orme"'' in A major :# ''Les enharmoniques'' in E minor :# ''Petit air à 5 voix'' in B major :# ''Notturino-Innamorato'' in F-sharp minor :# ''Transports'' in C-sharp major :# ''Les diablotins'' in G-sharp minor :# ''Le premiere billet doux'' in E-flat major :# ''Scherzetto'' in B-flat minor :# ''En songe'' in F major :#''Laus Deo'' in C major 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Esquisses (Alkan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
