Description
Le Marteau sans maître is a nine-part cycle, composed for contralto and six instrumentalists. Each of the parts is scored differently; four are for voice and changing instruments, while five are purely instrumental. On the one hand, the five instrumental pieces are organised in a prelude and postlude to the first vocal piece and, on the other, in three commentaries on the third vocal piece.
However, cohesive vocal and instrumental parts do not follow one another directly; they are woven throughout the entire piece like a web. The words of the second poem appear in two musical versions (Nos. V and IX). Comparison of the two versions makes the difference in handling the singing voice very clear: one the one hand, cantabile-melismatic, then syllabic voice leading combined with the melodic instruments alto flute, guitar, viola and, on the other, Sprechgesang with predominantly percussion accompaniment and wordless, quasi instrumental singing.
Der Hammer ohne Meister Das rasende Handwerk ** Der rote Karren am Rand des Nagels Und Aas im Brotkorb Und Ackerpferde am Hufeisen Ich sinne den Kopf auf der Spitze meines Messers Peru Schönes Gebäude and die Vorahnungen ** Ich höre wandern in meinen Beinen Das tote Meer Wellen hoch überm Haupt. Kind der wilde Molenweg Mann der nachgeahmte Wahn. Reine Augen in den Wäldern Suchen weinend das bewohnbare Haupt. Henker der Einsamkeit ** Der Schritt hat sich entfernt der Wanderer ist verstummt. Auf das Zifferblatt der Nachahmung Wirft das Pendel seine Last willenlosen Granits. Übersetzung: Wolfgang Fink | Le Marteau sans maître ** Poèmes de René Char L'Artisanat furieux ** La roulotte rouge au bord du clou Et cadavre dans le panier Et chevaux de labours dans le fer à cheval Je rêve la tête sur la pointe de mon couteau le Pérou. Bel édifice et les pressentiments ** J'écoute marcher dans mes jambes La mer morte vagues par-dessus tête Enfant la jetée-promenade sauvage homme l'illusion imitée Des yeux purs dans les bois Cherchent en pleurant la tête habitable. Bourreaux de solitude Le pas s'est éloigné le marcheur s'est tu Sur le cadran de l'imitation Le Balancier lance sa charge de granit réflexe. ©1934 Editions José Corti, Paris Textes reproduits avec l'aimable autorisation de l'éditeur | The Hammer Unmastered Furious handicraft ** The red caravan beside the iron nail And corpse in the basket And carthorses in the horseshoe I dream the head on the point of my knife, a Pérou. Find building and premonitions ** I hear walking in my limbs The dead sea waves overhead Child the wild pier Man the imitated illusion Pure eyes in the woods Weeping seek the habitable head. **Hangmen of solitude ** The step has gone away the walker fallen silent On the dial of Imitation The Pendulum casts its load of granite in reverse.

Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
