phototropism. This is the technical term for the phenomenon that plants turn towards the light. And some compositional growths tend to seek a way out of the darkness. But: You can try it and start in really dark colors.

Joseph Haydn – according to himself, has a cheerful disposition – cannot endure the dark twilight for too long. Well, it's not always cold darkness that says C minor on it. In the finale at the latest, Haydn lets the warm sun shine through the window again.

Under the hashtag #Nocturne, people have been composing nocturnal pieces in rather dark colors for centuries. Benjamin Britten set seven nocturnal texts by seven authors to music. But despite the gloomy light conditions, the last word here is "sunrise" - sunrise.

Most of the musical landscapes that Beethoven gives us in his 6th symphony are also flooded with sunlight. And yet the sky suddenly darkens because the composer brings in dark thunderclouds and gloomy thunder. There is no light without a shadow – that is the nature of things.

English

Phototropismus. So der Fachbegriff für das Phänomen, dass Pflanzen sich zum Licht hinwenden. Und auch manch kompositorisches Gewächs tendiert dazu, einen Weg aus der Dunkelheit heraus zu suchen. Aber: Man kann es ja mal versuchen und in richtig düsteren Farben loslegen.

Joseph Haydn – laut Selbstauskunft Inhaber eines heiteren Gemüts – hält es nicht allzu lange im dunklen Zwielicht aus. Tja, nicht überall, wo c-Moll draufsteht, ist ausschließlich kalte Finsternis drin. Spätestens im Finale lässt Haydn doch wieder die warme Sonne durchs Fenster strahlen.

Unter dem Hashtag #Nocturne komponieren Menschen bereits seit Jahrhunderten Nachtstücke in eher dunklen Farben. Gleich sieben nächtliche Texte von sieben Autoren hat Benjamin Britten vertont. Aber trotz der düsteren Lichtverhältnisse lautet das letzte Wort auch hier »sunrise« – Sonnenaufgang.

Sonnendurchflutet sind auch die meisten musikalischen Landschaften, die uns Beethoven in seiner 6. Sinfonie beschert. Und doch verfinstert sich der Himmel plötzlich, weil der Komponist dunkle Gewitterwolken und düsteres Donnergrollen anrücken lässt. Kein Licht ohne Schatten – das ist die Natur der Dinge.
