Self-Choreography on Schubert Introduction and Variations D.802

Self-Choreography on Introduction, Theme and Variations on 'Trockne Blumen' D.802 (1824) -- Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Noriko Omichi, Choreographer / Dancer Erin Keppner, Flute Kotomi Chiba, Piano 11/26/18 LeFrak Concert Hall [ Program Notes ] ＊ The story behind… The Introduction and Variations for flute and piano uses the 18th song “Trockne Blumen” from Die schöne Müllerin as the basis for a set of variations. The lyrics are based on Seventy-Seven Poems from the Posthumous Papers of a Travelling-Horn-Player by poet Wilhelm and tell the story of a young wanderer. As he walks by the river, he finds a mill and falls in love with the miller’s beautiful daughter. However the young man later realizes the beautiful girl is together with a hunter. Out of depression and sadness, he ultimately drowns himself in the river. “Trockne Blumen” (i.e. Withered Flowers) is one of the last songs in the cycle in which the narrator imagines taking the now withered flowers from the miller’s daughter to his grave so that they may spring forth once more and prove that his love was true. ＊ About the choreography… Introduction – Section 1. “Soul recalled” Somewhere inside the river, the wanderer is sleeping. His soul awakes and auditorily hallucinates the girl he fell in love with. After hearing her calling him and having an emotional conflict within, his soul eventually decides to fly back to the mill and find the girl. Theme – Section 2. “The beautiful maiden” The wanderer’s soul has traveled back to the past. The gorgeous maiden who took away his heart is gently breathing beside the river and enjoying her day. Variation I – Section 3. “Feeling flows with the river” His passionate feelings, along with the riverflow, travel down toward the mill where the maiden is. Hope, desire and eagerness... all of his feelings are going to be conveyed. Variation II – Section 4. “Anger and depression” He finds out the maiden is already with a hunter. First he condemns, "Why didn't you choose me!?" then later out of depression, sinks himself into the river. Variation III – Section 5. “Flower will bloom again, spring will come” The wanderer's soul comes back to present. His love was sad and fleeting, but it was beautiful. Although he is dead, it is uplifting. Embracing his newfound feelings of peace and hope, the wanderer sincerely wishes the happiness of the maiden. He tells the flower, "Don't look at me sadly, spring will come, winter will pass, please bloom!"
