Report on Carla
Schabel, Dietrich/Marshall, Steve
7 SoSATBGbCb. Steve says: 'In 2005 Dietrich Schnabel composed a set of short pieces entitled 'Die MŠdels'. One of the pieces, 'Carla', is particularly simple and beautiful, consisting almost entirely of crotchets, spelling out a hypnotic and attractive chord sequence. I liked 'Carla' immediately, and many ways of developing it suggested themselves to me. At the risk of gilding the lily, and with Dietrich's permission, I have therefore written this 'report' on his piece, a report in this sense being an archaic term for a piece written in response to another. Playing time is about five minutes.'
