Eight Pieces for Four Timpani is a collection of short pieces by Elliott Carter for solo timpani – four drums played by one musician. Six of the pieces were composed in 1949. Two new pieces were added in 1966, and the rest were revised in collaboration with percussionist Jan Williams. Carter wrote the pieces as studies in tempo modulation and the use of four-note chords. They are a collection rather than a suite, as Carter suggested no more than four be performed at once. The pieces make heavy use of extended techniques, including playing with the back end of the timpani sticks, varying the beating spot on the drumhead, glissandos, and sympathetic vibration.

  • Huit pièces pour timbales est un cycle de pièces pour timbales d'Elliott Carter. Elles ont été composées en deux temps, six pièces en 1949 complétées par deux autres pièces en 1966 (Canto et Adagio). D'une virtuosité technique élevée, elles illustrent le concept de modulation métrique cher au compositeur. (fr)
  • 4台のティンパニのための8つの小品は、エリオット・カーターが作曲したティンパニ独奏のための小曲集。この中の6つは1950年に作曲され、残り2つは1966年に付け加えられた。組曲というよりは作品集という色が強く、それはカーター自身がこの作品について、同時に4つ以上演奏することを推奨していないことからも窺える。 カーター自身はこの作品を「テンポの変化」と「4音の響き」の練習曲として作曲した。しかし「叩く場所を変える」「マレットの裏面(持ち手側)で叩く」「グリッサンド」などの特殊奏法が用いられる他、普段はあまり用いられないテクニックなどが要されることもあり、その側面が目立ってしまっているのは否めない。 (ja)
