Written in honor of the Béla Bartók centennial, MUSIQUES NOCTURNES is inspired by oneof his most characteristic and original works, the fourth piece (by the same title), from the suiteOut of Doors. Both pieces feature overlapping “night musics” – atmospheric cluster figures, sharplycontrasting motifs suggesting nocturnal bird, frog, or insect sounds, and an element of human,folksong-like melody as Levinson alludes to the authentic Hungarian folksong, “Tiszán innen,Dunán túl.”
