Kagel: Mimetics / Liebner
In 1961, Mauricio Kagel wrote a piano piece with two titles. As a solo work, it is called âMetapiece." It can also, however, be played together â either simultaneously or in alternation â with other pieces by Kagel or other living composers, and is then called Mimetics. In this way, Kagel opens at the conceptual level various possibilities for the interpreter to realize his composition. The pianist Sabine Liebner has accepted Kagelâs invitation to collaborate and undertaken her own musical journey through the composerâs piano music. Sabine Liebnerâs response to his invitation to play with the idea of open form is unique in that she combines âMetapieceâ exclusively with other piano pieces, all of them composed by Kagel himself. âMetapieceâ, in its âMimeticsâ form, surrounds these other works or is laid over them. Framed by âMimeticsâ, the âCuatro piezas para pianoâ and âMM 51â are played in their original forms, and the piano etude âAn Tastenâ is subverted by a version of âMimeticsâ. At the end of Liebnerâs response to Kagelâs original invitation, âMetapieceâ itself appears in a 20-minute solo version.
