Winner of the coveted 2002 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition and one of the youngest composers ever to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, Aaron Jay Kernis is among the most esteemed musical figures of his generation. With "fearless originality [and] powerful voice" (The New York Times), each new Kernis work is eagerly awaited by audiences and musicians alike, and he is one of today's most frequently performed composers. His music, full of variety and dynamic energy, is rich in lyric beauty, poetic imagery, and brilliant instrumental color.

His works figure prominently on orchestral, chamber, and recital programs world-wide and have been commissioned by many of America's foremost performers, including sopranos Renee Fleming and Dawn Upshaw, violinists Joshua Bell, Pamela Frank, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and James Ehnes (for the BBC Proms), pianist Christopher O'Riley and guitarist Sharon Isbin, and such musical institutions as the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra (for the inauguration of its new home at the Kimmel Center), Walt Disney Company, Rose Center for Earth and Space at New York's American Museum of Natural History,

Recent and upcoming commissions include works for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival (for David Shifrin and the Orion Quartet), eighth blackbird, a cello concerto for rising star Joshua Roman, a viola concerto (for Paul Neubauer), and his 3rd string quartet for the Jasper Quartet. His recent seasons have included appearances as conductor, and he has appeared with members of the San Francisco and Minnesota Orchestra and New York Philharmonic and with major chamber music festivals in Chicago and Portland, and for the Pascal Rioult Dance Company.

One of America's most honored composers, Mr. Kernis was recently inducted in to the Classical Music Hall of Fame. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he received the coveted Grawemeyer Award in Music Composition (2002) for the cello and orchestra version of "Colored Field"; the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for his String Quartet No. 2 ("musica instrumentalis"); and Grammy Award nominations for both "Air" and his Second Symphony. He has also been awarded the Stoeger Prize from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rome Prize, an NEA grant, a Bearns Prize, a New York Foundation for the Arts Award, and three BMI Student Composer Awards. For ten years he was New Music Advisor to the Minnesota Orchestra and artistic director of that orchestra's Composer Institute for fifteen years. He currently teaches composition at Yale School of Music, a position he's occupied since 2003.

His works have been recorded on Nonesuch, New Albion, Koch, Naxos, and Argo, Britain's esteemed label, with which Mr. Kernis had an exclusive recording contract. Previously issued CDs include a widely acclaimed CD with Hugh Wolff conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Mr. Kernis's Symphony No. 2, "Invisible Mosaic III," and "musica celestis" was nominated for a Grammy, and won France's Diapason d'or Palmares for Best Contemporary Music Disc of the Year. Other recordings include a disc of his Pulitzer-Prize winning String Quartet No. 2 ("musica instrumentalis") and Musica Celestis, both on Arabesque with the Lark Quartet. Other releases on Argo featured works for violinists Pamela Frank and Joshua Bell with David Zinman and the Minnesota Orchestra, and his Double Concerto with guitarist Sharon Isbin, violinist Cho-Liang Lin and Hugh Wolff leading the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Originally released on Virgin/EMI was his cello version of "Colored Field" and "Air," created for the Norwegian virtuoso Truls Mork and the Minnesota Orchestra with Eiji Oue. Several of his important works recorded on Argo have been re-released by Phoenix, including his Second Symphony, "Musica Celestis" for String Orchestra, "Invisible Moasic III," and "Symphony in Waves," with Gerard Schwarz and the New York Chamber Symphony. Recent critically acclaimed recordings include the release of orchestral works by the Grant Park Festival Orchestra on Cedille Records. His "Goblin Market" was recently released, along with "Invisible Mosaic II"• on the Signum label with The New Professionals, Rebecca Miller conductor, and Mary King narrator.

GUEST ARTISTS 客席藝術家 Tianwa Yang 楊天媧 Acclaimed young violinist 知名的年輕小提琴家 (photo credit 相片: Friedrun Reinhold)

Called “an unquestioned master of the violin” (American Record Guide) who “rises above her competition” (Fanfare), Tianwa Yang has quickly established herself as a leading international performer and recording artist. The young violinist, a resident of Germany and heralded by the Detroit News as “the most important violinist to come on the scene in many a year,” has debuted with such major orchestras as the Detroit, Seattle, Baltimore, Nashville, Kansas City, Pacific, Toledo, SWR-Baden Baden-Freiburg, and New Zealand Symphonies, in addition to the MDR-Sinfonieorchester-Leipzig, Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Orchestre National d'Île de France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Hong Kong Sinfonietta and the Hong Kong, Malaysia, Buffalo, BBC, Deutsche Radio, Erfurt, Warsaw and Royal Liverpool Philharmonics. Ms. Yang has performed under the baton of renowned conductors Marc Albrecht, Andreas Delfs, JoAnn Falletta, Giancarlo Guerrero , Günther Herbig, Yoel Levi, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Gerard Schwarz, Vassily Sinaisky amongst others. Other international engagements include those at the Ravinia Festival, Virginia Arts Festival, Schwetzinger Festival, London’s Wigmore Hall, Paris’ Salle Pleyel, New York’s Rose Theater, Lincoln Center, and Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Ms. Yang has also given live concert broadcasts from the Schwetzingen Festival, broadcast by the SWR Stuttgart; from the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, broadcast by Deutschlandradio; and from the Montpellier Festival, broadcast by Radio France.

As a critically acclaimed recording artist for Naxos, Ms. Yang will soon expand her discography with the release of the Violin Concertos by Castelnuovo-Tedesco recorded with the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg.

PROGRAM NOTES [曲目簡介]

David Hertzberg Méditation boréale Although my Méditation boréale was conceived as an abstract piece, certain images and ideas suggested themselves to me throughout the course of its composition. The following lines are an ekphrastic response to my own work, written after its completion:

aurora

outside of time, the pregnant wasteland, stoic, unmoved by wind or tide, unseen, unknown, and so, unreal, invents

she is without waiting she cannot but squander infinitely in her silent shiftings

listen! underneath there is a din that, deaf to wishing, swells, until the tracks of some lone thing are etched upon the ice and she demurs.

— David Hertzberg

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 37 www.ic.shss.ust.hk David Hertzberg 極光靜思 極光靜思雖是一部抽象的作品，但創作過程中極光的畫面與思考不時在我腦海中閃現。作品完成後，我試圖用 詩句去再現我的音樂。

極光靜思

時光之外， 在那片深遠的荒蕪之地， 任流風過境，潮汐去還， 她的出現 飄渺虛無

她不屑等待，寧願驕恣於寂静的無盡變幻。 聽！下面傳來一陣喧囂 不斷膨脹 她漠然以對 直至長痕鏤冰 她抵抗

Clint Needham On the Road In recent years, I have moved to a variety of places with my family. I recognize that the majority of my closest friends and loved ones, most of whom are artists as well, seem to live a rather nomadic lifestyle as well. Jack Kerouac's stylized & beautiful portrayal of this lifestyle in his work "On the Road" served as inspiration for this work, in particular the line, "Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me.” For me, this phrase typifies the hopeful, positive spirit that most artists possess. This work makes attempts to musically capture these ideas.

— Clint Needham

Clint Needham 路上 這些年，我曾隨家人搬去許多不同的地方居住生活。我發現許多我的親朋密友，我愛的人們（他們大部分也同 我一樣是藝術家），似乎過着一種流浪般的生活。杰克凱魯亞克在他的小說《路上》中將這種生活方式優美的描 繪出來，風格强烈。這首作品的靈感也源自於這本小說，尤其是書中那句” 來路無可回望，一切皆在遠方“。 對我來說這句話代表着多數藝術家所具有的充滿希望積極樂觀的精神。而這首作品則是對捕捉展現這一精神所 做的一次音樂上的嘗試。

Ian Ng Equal "Igual" (Equal), written for two violins in 2014, is a ballet score commissioned for the 20th Anniversary of the Fire Island Dance Festival. It is Mr. Ng's second collaboration with Marcelo Gomes, principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. The piece, performed by dancers from Complexions Contemporary Ballet, premiered in July of 2014 at the Fire Island Dance Festival and entered the repertory of Complexions Ballet

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 38 www.ic.shss.ust.hk Company in the Fall of that year. The music is celebratory in style, fast-paced, full of boundless and youthful energy. This version is modified from the original score for the ballet.

伍家骏 平行 “平行” 是伍氏於2014年為第二十屆火島舞蹈節所創作的雙小提琴委約芭蕾曲目。這是伍氏第二次與美國芭蕾 舞團首席舞者馬塞洛戈麥斯的合作。作品於2014年七月由金巴斯當代舞蹈團在火島舞蹈節上首演，同年秋天成 為該舞團的保留劇目。樂曲愉悅歡快，情緒飽滿，洋溢著青春氣息。本次來港演奏的作品由原曲改編而成。

Aaron Jay Kernis Perpetual Chaconne Over the past decade I’ve been fascinated by the great variety of approaches composers have used to develop their ideas in sets of theme and variations—from logical, incremental progressions found in William Byrd, Bach, Mozart, and early Beethoven—to the later, more fantastical approaches of so many composers of the late Romantic period. I am most intrigued by the innovative, intuitive, and transformative approaches to variation found in fantasias from the 1600s and then again from late Beethoven, Schumann, and Brahms to the late 20th century. Many of these works feature what is frequently called ‘developing variations.’

Developing variations tend to begin from small cells and grow outward bit by bit. They can suddenly catch fire and explode toward wholly unexpected places or find logical paths that mutate so much that the music and listener frequently reach new territory.

Perpetual Chaconne grows out of four main ideas: the falling lines in the violins that open it, the lyrical, expressive music that is introduced by the clarinet, a group of minor chords that is the harmonic grounding (the chaconne) of the whole work, and the rocking, alternating triplets that pass from instrument to instrument. Everything else in the piece varies one or more of these ideas, and maps an emotional journey from mournful lyricism to increasingly abstract, harsh gestures and back. Some of the ideas return to echo earlier appearances in the work, but most are varied and transformed all the way through to the end. Perpetual Chaconne was written for David Shifrin with the Orion Quartet, and John Bruce Yeh with the Calder Quartet for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and La Jolla Summerfest. The piece is in one movement of about 17 minutes.

— Aaron Jay Kernis

Aaron Jay Kernis 恆動的夏康舞曲 在過去十年間，我一直著迷於不同作曲家那各種各的主題和變奏的技巧，例如從威廉·伯德，巴赫，莫扎特和早 期的貝多芬之中所發現的邏輯與遞增發展，到後來後浪漫主義時期很多作曲家那更多幻想的方式。我最為好奇 的是創新的，憑直覺的，以及轉型的變奏模式，從十七世紀的幻想曲，到晚期的貝多芬，舒曼，布拉姆斯，再 進展致二十世紀。這類作品的特點通常被稱為“發展中的變奏”。

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 39 www.ic.shss.ust.hk

發展中的變奏往往由小組織慢慢向外生長。他們可以突然著火，炸開到完全意想不到的地方，或者經由具邏輯 性的路徑發生突變，帶領音樂和聽接觸新的領域。

恆動的夏康舞曲由四個重要主題組成：由小提琴帶出的下行線條，單簧管抒情傳神的音樂，一組由小和弦所形 成的基本和聲進程（夏康舞曲），和那搖擺交替而從各樂器之間游走的三連音。其餘的是以一或多個主題的變奏， 以及反映情感歷程，從悲傷的抒情到越來越抽象，強烈的姿勢後再回來。某些主題猶如回聲般重現，但直至最 後，大多數都是多變的。恆動的夏康舞曲是為 David Shifrin 與 Orion 四重奏，以及 John Bruce Yeh 與 Calder 四重奏而作，於聖塔菲室樂節和拉霍亞夏季音樂節演出。這是一首大概十七分鐘的音樂。

Bright Sheng Northern Lights Northern Lights was commissioned by The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, La Jolla Music Society, and Bergen Festival by a generous gift from William Ginsberg in honor of his wife, Inger G. Ginsberg. It was finished on December 28th, 2009, in New York City.

The work is dedicated to Inger G. Ginsberg.

Folk music has been my fascination and creative resource for over four decades. In the early 1970’s, I first became infatuated with the folks songs of Qinghai (eastern Tibet), a rare fusion and crossover of several ethnic folk cultures in the region. Subsequently, during my undergraduate years at The Shanghai Conservatory of Music, I further systematically studied Chinese folk music traditions. Shortly after I moved to the United States in the early 1980’s, my interest was broadened to include music cultures surrounding China, and the relationship of how these cultures had influenced, intermingled, and infiltrated each other. This let to my series of studies of the music cultures along the Silk Road, an ancient trading route between the old empires of China and Rome, while helping my friend Yo Yo Ma launch the Silk Road Project. I have also been captivated by American folk music for decades, especially blue grass and country music; and it has long been my hope to find pretext to include these elements in my work.

My friends Inger and Bill Ginsberg live in New York City and in Helle, Norway, where Inger was born. During one conversation, Bill, well versed in the Norwegian culture, introduced me to Norwegian and Scandinavian folk music. I became even more excited when, after further examination, I noticed its kinship with some forms of American country music, such as Appalachian and Bluegrass. In many ways, composing music in various styles is similar to a writer using different languages; and the work is usually most effective when the author is most comfortable with the language. On the other hand, for a range of reasons, many literary giants attempted their second (or even third) language to great results. Northern Lights is my first attempt to integrate Norwegian/Scandinavian folk music; and it probably has a linguistic accent. However, as a student who is embarking his first performance with a newly-learned language, I am fully excited with the probability of including another tongue in my works.

The title of the work, Northern Lights, refers to an astronomical natural phenomenon also known as polar lights (aurora polaris), which are shafts or curtains of fantastically colored light visible on occasion in the night

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 40 www.ic.shss.ust.hk sky, particularly in countries of the polar regions, such as Norway.

盛宗亮 北極光 《北極光》由林肯中心室內樂協會、La Jolla 音樂協會和卑爾根音樂節委約，為紀念 William Ginsberg 的妻子 Inger G. Ginsberg，於 2009 年 12 月 28 日在紐約市完成。

此作品獻給 Inger G. Ginsberg。

民間音樂是我超過四十年的酷愛和靈感來源。在 1970 年代初，我開始對青海的民間歌曲（西藏東部）著迷， 這是一個罕見地融合和跨越多個民族的民間文化地區。隨後，在上海音樂學院的大學生涯，我進一步有系統地 學習了中國民族音樂傳統。在我 1980 年代初移居美國後不久，我的興趣擴大到包括中國周遭的音樂文化，以 及這些文化如何互相影響、混合和滲透。這引領我沿著絲綢之路──中國和羅馬的古帝國之間的一條古老的貿 易路線，作音樂文化研究，同時幫助我的朋友馬友友推出了絲綢之路計劃。我也被美國民間音樂迷住了幾十年， 尤其是藍草音樂和鄉村音樂；我一直希望找機會在我的作品包含這些元素。

我的朋友 Inger 和 Bill Ginsberg 在紐約和 Inger 的出世地──挪威的赫勒生活。在一次交談中，精通挪威文化 的 Bill，向我介紹了挪威及斯堪的納維亞的民間音樂。在進一步檢視後，我更加激動，因我注意到它與美國鄉村 音樂一些形式上的緊密聯繫，如阿巴拉契亞和藍草鄉村音樂。

在許多方面，以各種風格創作音樂如同一個作家用不同的語言寫作；作者以令他最舒適的語言創作通常是最有 效的。另一方面，由於一系列的原因，許多文學巨匠嘗試他們以第二個（或第三）語言成就偉大成果。《北極光》 是我第一次嘗試將挪威和斯堪的納維亞地區民間音樂結合；它可能有一個語言上的口音。然而，如作為一個學 生，他第一次嘗試以新學到的語言演出，我被以另一種語言創作的可能性而感到極興奮。

作品的標題──《北極光》，指的是一個天文自然現象，稱為極光（aurora polaris），這是特別在北極地區的國 家，如挪威，於夜空中偶爾出現令驚嘆彩色的光束或天幕。

Maurice Ravel Introduction and Allegro Composed in 1905 and premiered in 1907, The Introduction and Allegro holds a unique place in Ravel’s output as he did not think to include it in his own catalog of works or mention it in his autobiography. The full title of the work is Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Accompanied by a Quartet of Strings, Flute, and Clarinet. But, it is essentially a 10-minute miniature concerto for harp commissioned by harp manufacturer, Erard, to show-off the expressive range of their instrument. The general simplicity of form and harmony have led some to conclude that the Introduction and Allegro might have originally been composed as a test piece for the Paris Conservatoire.

拉威爾 前奏與快板 前奏與快板於 1905 年寫成，1907 年首演，是一首比較獨特的作品，因為拉威爾不想把它列入自己的作品清單， 或在自己的自傳提及它。這部作品的整個曲名為由弦樂四重奏，長笛，單簧管為豎琴伴奏的前奏與快板。但原 來這首十分鐘長的小型豎琴協奏曲是由豎琴製造家 Erard 委約，目的是要炫耀他所製的豎琴有多大的表現程度。 從那比較簡單的曲式及和聲所得出的結論認為，這前奏與快板原意有可能是為巴黎音樂學院考試曲目而作。

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 44 www.ic.shss.ust.hk PROGRAM NOTES

Ruben Naeff JACKASS JACKASS is a highly energetic journey with the pace of New York City through twelve tone melodies, 1990s dance 'house' harmonies and Balkan rhythms, sticking to a single love but still chasing wild adventure.

— Ruben Naeff

Ruben Naeff 野驢 通過十二音列的旋律，90 年代舞廳的和聲和巴爾幹半島的音樂韵律，野驢仿佛將聽眾置身於一場振奮人心的旅 程中，跟隨紐約的脈動去領略一種單純且不失嚮往野性冒險的情懷。

Wang A-Mao Returning Home The musical motive comes from a well-known Chinese Zheng repertoire Notturno in the Fisher boat, and its original Guqin version Returning Home.

I applied its basic pitch material (F# A B E) from both versions, and develop it throughout the piece. It consists of two sections: slow section and fast section, and a coda. For the piano part, I applied passages of pizzicato the strings and fast running notes to imitate Gu Qin sound. By ornamenting the original musical theme, altering the rhythm, and employing various dynamics, I attempted to express the beautiful poetic imagery of the poem.

— Wang A-Mao

王阿毛 歸去來辭 作品靈感來源於中國著名的古筝曲目《漁舟唱晚》和它最初的古琴曲版本《歸去來辭》。我運用了這兩個版本 中的四個音 F# A B E 作為創作基礎。 且整首作品都圍繞此展開。全曲由快慢兩部分加上尾聲組成。鋼琴部分運用撥弦和快速彈奏的樂段去模仿古琴 的聲音。樂曲通過對原音樂主题加以潤飾，變換節奏，豐富層次，試圖描繪出一副田園牧歌般的詩意圖畫。

Scott Ordway Let There Be Not Darkness, But Light I began this work in Los Angeles knowing that I would finish it in New York (where I lived at the time). As such, the idea of balanced contrast—an idea that has fascinated and frustrated composers since Haydn—was on my mind. The work is abstract, but its title reflects this proportioned interplay of opposites.

The premiere was given in Harris Concert Hall at the 2012 Aspen Summer Music Festival. The work has been significantly revised for this performance in Hong Kong.

— Scott Ordway

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 45 www.ic.shss.ust.hk

Scott Ordway 讓那裡沒有黑暗，但有光 這首作品的創作開始於洛杉磯，但是我知道我會在纽紐約成它（那時候我居住在紐約）。我時常想着如何平衡 對立，這個想法曾讓海頓之後的許多作曲家感到着迷而又沮喪。從它的名字可以看出這部抽象的作品是如何協 調那些對立元素的。 該曲曾在 2012 年阿斯本夏季音樂節上首演。是次赴港演出做了重要修改。

Bright Sheng Dance Capriccio Dance Capriccio (2011) was commissioned by the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation in honor of Lois Beznos, the President of Chamber Music Society of Detroit. The work is written for Peter Serkin and the Shanghai String Quartet who premiered the work on February 11, 2012, at the Seligman Performing Arts Center in Detroit. It is approximately twelve minutes in length.

Dance Capriccio is inspired by the dance folk music of Sherpa, a small ethnic group (population ca. 150,000) mostly living in western Nepal, in the high mountains of the Himalayas. In Tibetan language, Sherpa means ‘people of the east’, as it is believed Sherpa moved from eastern Tibet to their current site centuries ago. Sherpa are regarded as excellent mountaineers and guides for expeditions of the Himalayas, especially the Everest.

Sherpa language is essentially an atypical dialect of Tibetan. The same phenomenon is reflected in Sherpa folk music which is similar to Tibetan but with its distinctive characters and twists of melodic turns. Like the Tibetans, Sherpa people love to dance and, along with love songs and drinking songs, dance music is an important genre among Sherpa folk music.

In Dance Capriccio, I try to capture the various characters of Sherpa Dance, from slow to fast, tender to raucous even wild.

This work is dedicated to Maxine and Stuart Frankel, my dear friends, and passionate patrons and promoters for arts and art education.

— Bright Sheng

盛宗亮 舞蹈隨想曲 《舞蹈隨想曲》由麥格森和斯圖亞特•佛蘭克基金委約，為紀念底特律室內樂協會主席洛伊斯•貝索斯而創作。 作品寫給彼得•塞爾金及上海弦樂四重奏，並於 2012 年 2 月 11 日由上海弦樂四重奏在底特律賽里格曼表演藝術 中心作首演。全曲約長 12 分鐘。

《舞蹈隨想曲》的靈感來源於夏爾巴族的民間舞蹈，夏爾巴族是一個僅有 150,000 人口的少數民族，大部分人居 住在尼泊爾西部的喜馬拉雅山區。藏語中夏爾巴的意思是“東方人”，正因如此夏爾巴人被認為在幾世紀前從

The Intimacy of Creativity 2015 46 www.ic.shss.ust.hk 西藏東部遷徙至此。夏爾巴人是出色的登山者和登山向導，為人類探索喜馬拉雅山脈和珠穆朗瑪峰書寫了濃墨 重彩的一筆。

夏爾巴族語與藏語大不相同。他們的獨特之處也同樣體現在音樂之中，暨與藏曲相似卻又自成一格，樂曲中不 乏旋律優美的轉折。夏爾巴人像藏人一樣熱愛舞蹈，因此情歌，飲酒歌和舞曲同是夏爾巴民間音樂的重要類別。

在《舞蹈隨想曲》中我嘗試呈現夏爾巴舞蹈所具有的不同特點，從慢到快，從輕柔到喧囂甚至是狂野。

此作品獻給我親愛的朋友們－麥格森，斯圖亞特•佛蘭克，還有熱情的資助人及藝術教育推廣者。

Maurice Ravel Piano Trio in a minor Ravel’s Piano Trio in a minor was written just before he enlisted in the French military at the sudden outbreak of World War I. While the work reflects his pre-war style including harmonic innovations, it also demonstrates the influence of the balance of Classical Period forms found in his later works. The first movement features a transformed sonata-allegro form. The second movement is a brilliant scherzo featuring innovative ensemble sonorities. The third movement has a strong French influence, entitled Passacaille (French for passacaglia) built on a repeated slow, winding eight-measure pattern. The energetic and quick-paced character of the final movement reflects, some commentators believe, Ravel’s hurry to enlist in the military. Driven by (in Ravel’s own words) “insane heroic rage” evidenced in the shifting metrical patterns, the movement displays at once great passion and formal control which is the hallmark of the work.

— Matthew Tommasini

拉威爾 A 小調鋼琴三重奏 拉威爾的 A 小調鋼琴三重奏是在他未加入法國軍隊之前寫成的。當時正是第一次世界大戰爆法之前，這部作品 既表現出戰前拉威爾創新的和聲風格，亦展示了他後期作品中受古典時期曲式的平衡所影響。第一樂章是一個 變形了的奏鳴曲式。第二樂章是一個具有創新合奏聲響的輝煌諧謔曲。第三樂章具有較強的法國風格，題為法 文的帕薩卡利亞舞曲，以八個小節一組不斷重複，緩慢且曲折地形成整個樂章。最後是一個充滿活力和極具動 感終章，一些評論家認為這是反映了拉威爾急於加入軍隊。透過經常轉換的節拍，體現出拉威爾曾經所說的“瘋 狂英雄的憤怒”。這終章呈現了一次極大的熱情和正規的控制，是這首鋼琴三重奏的一大特點。
