Arabesque

Arabesque

Robert Russell Bennett

The composer's note from Tuesday evening, March 27, 1979, at Carnegie Recital Hall, New York City: Charlie Chaplin once gave us his recipe for comedy: think of the most ridiculous situation you can, and then direct and play it as though it were King Lear or Pell�as. Dead earnest and dead serious. Instrumental music that tries to be funny�scherzos, burlesques, humoresques�nearly always ends up being merely cheerful. The Arabesque is written to be cheerful and to show what five fine artists, unconcerned with what the trade calls �style,� can do when they read music.
