Overview

First Words After The Last is a striking composition by Dargay Marcell, created during his third year at the Music Academy. This innovative work is built on a unique formula of 9 notes—derived by coding a Christian name along with various nicknames and anagrams. In the piece, nearly every musical element evolves according to a predetermined system, resulting in a meticulously structured yet expressive work. The premiere took place on March 20, 2002, in the small hall at the Music Academy, performed by Dóra Sík on violoncello, László Tömösközi on vibraphone, and Dániel Dinyés on prepared piano, with Balázs Futó conducting.

Hungarian Translation - Áttekintés

First Words After The Last című művet Dargay Marcell írt a Zeneművészeti Főiskola harmadik évében. A darab alapját egy 9 hangból álló formula képezi, melyet egy keresztnevet, valamint különféle beceneveket és anagrammákat kódolva hozott létre. A műben szinte minden zenei elem egy előre meghatározott rendszer szerint fejlődik, így hozva létre egy rendkívül precíz, ugyanakkor kifejező kompozíciót. A darab 2002. március 20-án debütált a Zeneművészeti Főiskola kistermében, előadói Dóra Sík (cselló), László Tömösközi (vibrafon) és Dániel Dinyés (preparált zongora) voltak, Balázs Futó vezetésével.
