<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">For a very rare change, for #UCFF, no films this year were <i>not</i> watched in full (although excepting, for example, the recorded Q&A for <i>Mutt</i>, which ran directly after the closing credits and when Th'Agent needed to be on the way elsewhere).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">That being said, since there <i>were</i> occasions when quitting the film had been tempting (because of, say, a massive disjunction or clash of mood or quality with what had been watched beforehand), and that experience is denoted by <b>Exit</b>, although the film was watched to the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Similarly, in the case of film-titles denoted by <b>Asp</b>, there had been <i>an aspiration</i> or intention to watch that film quite soon after another, but similar reasons, tiredness or simply wanting to socialize (and not watch a film for the sake of it) supervened.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">However, #UCFF has since been advised, by one more likely to be in the know, that the word is used in the States synonymously with 'schmuck' (and referred to the authority of its being used in that way by Groucho Marx no less) : that being so, the pejorative usage <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmuck_(pejorative)"><u>in Yiddish</u></a> [the link is to Wiki] adds colour, because, although 'schmuck' derives from the German word Schmuck (der Schmuck, which means 'jewelry'), its literal Yiddish meaning is a vulgar way of referring to the penis. (One can therefore infer that 'Dick' (or 'Cock') might have been more resonant titles in British English.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">1. <i>Adagio</i> - <i>Allegro</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">2. <i>Adagio</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">3. <i>Menuetto : Allegro</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">4. <i>Allegretto</i> - <i>Allegro</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">(<b>1</b>) Haydn opens this string quartet in a very gracious mood, with the instrumentalists passing the partitioned line between them as if in a relay, but, of course, The Takacs Quartet does so in an effortless way that belies the concentration and skill involved. It was likewise clear from their smiles, to each other or to themselves, as they read what was on the page (especially Harumi Rhodes), that they were enjoying his wit, and the risk-taking modulation near the <i>Allegro</i>'s conclusion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">The <i>Adagio</i> is the movement that feels to be <i>the emotional centre</i> of the work, and in which it became apparent that the attention of the audience at West Road Concert Hall was rapt. We might also have become aware of hearing the viola as 'an outlier' to the harmonic background that was given by the other instruments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">That being said, there is a reversal towards its end, and it is then the first violin that gives the incidental detail. However, it also proves to be very nearly the final bar, by which point Haydn's sensitive writing and the quartet's playing had <i>wrung all of us out</i> – we, and they, too !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">From the <i>Menuetto</i>'s spirited and lively introduction we pass into an in-between world, where Dusinberre (vn) and O'Neill (va) were playing exceptionally quietly. In this composition for string quartet, as a whole, it is noticeable that there is such great economy, with Haydn writing absolutely no more material than is necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">As in the opening movement, there is good-natured writing and fragmentation of the melody-line between the parts in the <i>Allegretto</i>, and with dance-rhythms becoming more prominent in the <i>Allegro</i> section. Haydn appears to indicate a coda (since it might turn out to be a late set of variations – or even a false ending ?), and we came to the end of this well-received performance of a gem of a piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">* Stephen Hough (b. 1961) ~ String Quartet No. 1 (2021), <i>Les Six rencontres</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">1. <i>Au boulevard</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">2. <i>Au parc</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">3. <i>À l'hôtel</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">4. <i>Au théâtre</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">5. <i>À l'église</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">6. <i>Au marché</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">(<b>2</b>) As Joanna Wyld's programme-notes imply, which quote extensively from Stephen Hough's own comments on the character of the <i>rencontres</i>*, and the music suggests, this set of movements is of a very cinematic nature : filmic depiction, and juxtaposition rather than 'development', is its mode of operation, but it also features what we heard in the Haydn, where fragments that make one musical line are passed around between the players.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">The vigorous and colourful sound-world of <i>Au boulevard</i> was followed, in <i>Au parc</i> by the evening's first use (?) of <i>Pizzicato</i>, alongside what felt to be more than a hint of <i>moto perpetuo</i>, and a genial mood, but one perhaps tinged with Hitchcockian unease ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Without intentionally listening out for the style of Francis Poulenc, it was <i>À l'hôtel</i> that most obviously reminded of it and his approach to melodic and harmonic invention. Until it proved to have a definite end, it seemed uncertain whether it might have been played without a break between it and <i>Au théâtre</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">However, that was <i>not</i> the case, and the latter's slide or 'tap' notes straightaway set it apart - was this, maybe, in the spirit of Arthur Honegger ? In any case, it continued with evocations of 'hamming' or stage horror, much use of <i>tremolo</i>, before a more serious and sad section (Tragedy after Comedy ?), and, with the viola prominent, a quiet close.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><i>À l'église</i> had wistful and phlegmatic writing, which was patently moving the performers (in this work's 'emotional centre'), and which might have had resemblances to Georges' Auric's cinematic score for Cocteau (<i>La belle et la bête</i> (1946)). <i>Au marché</i> seemed to have an incessant quality (and no bars' rest for any of the players ?), but yet a finality about it, marking its conclusion with bell-tones and their peals. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><i>Second half</i> :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">* Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) ~ String Quartet No. 8 in E Minor (1806), Opus 59, No. 2 (the 'Razumovsky' set**)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">1. <i>Allegro</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">2. <i>Molto adagio</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">3. <i>Allegretto</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">4. <i>Finale : Presto</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Beethoven's moody and magnificent (<b>3</b>) quartet is very different from what went before, so it truly did need an interval beforehand, as well as nothing to follow it – although, at the end of a powerfully affecting performance (not to say, of course, evening as a whole), an encore was repeatedly called for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">In the <i>Allegro</i> that opens the work, the viola keeps the line going, and the musical ship afloat, with an alleviation of the other players' harmonies. Perhaps, for maximum effect, our performers allowed themselves distending the suspenseful rests <i>per tutti</i>, but they principally and aptly gave the writing its full due weight from pacing and their dynamics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">They fitly reminded us, too, by bringing them out, how the composer's dissonances might have been 'shocking' in Vienna in the early nineteenth century (as the embedded Tweets allude to).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Through having noticed it when a pianist, say, performs a complete set of <i>Nocturnes</i> or <i>Études</i>, the writer, at least, believes that there is largely more scope, in a less-familiar number within that set***, for deviating from <i>what is expected</i> in or from it : though simultaneously asserting that this movement is 'the emotional centre' in Beethoven's work, yet the <i>Molto allegro</i>'s 'under-exposure', as it were, likewise gives more and / or different scope for individuation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">The <i>Allegretto</i> is, of course, very familiar, but this was glorious, and, with the playing of Rhodes and O'Neill to the fore, full of rich expectancy that led us on to the joyous <i>fugato</i> section, where we could again hear the delicacy of the viola's tones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><b>To come...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">The <i>Finale</i> also sounded fresh and, and we could again see that the players had smiles at the writing's felicities. Those same elements could be heard, which had been there in the opening work, of fragmentation of the musical line : it is always a sign of good programming when compositions 'talk to' each other !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Entrancing and entranced, right up to the end that we knew was coming and which we were willing on, this was a fit conclusion to a compelling evening of fine music from The Takács Quartet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><b>End-notes</b> :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">¹ Although Hough refers to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Les-Six"><i><u>Les Six</u></i></a>, it seems that the string quartet was commissioned and written for <a href="https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dw.asp?dc=W23878_68400"><u>a recording</u></a> by The Takács Quartet of works for string quartet by Ravel and Dutilleux (neither of them members of <i>Les Six</i>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">² All three works come to us through patronage, even if, in the case of Sir Stephen's composition, we now say that it 'was commissioned'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">³ Which, differently put, is to say that, unlike those that are often played solo, or with one or two others that have been excerpted from the set, one that is far more infrequently heard does not have a recording or performance practice that suggests how it 'should' sound. (The same principle applies to the excessively known or played sections of the Verdi or Mozart <i>Requiems</i>.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Michael Caine, as a lecturer in an unspecified discipline at a French academy (which, however, we may <a href="https://www.hotels-paris-rive-gauche.com/blog/2010/07/27/inception-paris-caprio-nolan-visit-sets"><u>rightly assume</u></a> to be <i>La Sorbonne</i>), graces a scene close to the start of <i>Inception</i> [which, thanks to this word from the world of insurance, necessarily sounds like <i>the start of the start</i>], and then does not reappear until the closing ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">From their conversation, we learn that Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), whom he addresses as 'Dom', is his son-in-law and that he had once been one of his brighter students. (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666"><u>The credits</u></a> tell us that Caine's character is called Miles, but we do not hear that name used.) Despite Cobb's seeming implication in the death of his daughter (Mal**, played by Marion Cotillard), Miles appears to have relatively few reservations about introducing Cobb to one of his current students, once he has first urged Cobb 'to come back to reality', and Cobb has argued both that, after what happened, he has to use what he was taught to do as he does (but cannot now be the architect of his own dream-deceptions), and, moreover, that the job that he is undertaking represents his only chance to be what Miles and Cobb want him to be able to be, a father to his children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">When Cobb asks for someone 'at least as good as' he was, Miles claims that Ariadne (Elliot Page) is 'better than' Cobb. (Apart from at the end of the film, where Miles meets Cobb at the airport, we see Caine do no more than effect an introduction to Ariadne. (<i>If</i>, that is, Cobb and co. have actually reached Arrivals...))</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">A great evening at The Stables with Kris Drever and his friends, Euan Burton (double and electric bass plus vox) and Louis Abbott (perc, drums, guitar and vocals), including a fair sprinkling from the 2020 album <i>Where The Air is Thin</i> !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">In the first set, Drever and his band gave us some poignant or reflective 'takes' on 'Sanday' (and its origins), 'I'll Always Leave The Light On' (and its origins) and 'More Than You Know' - after the interval, there was noticeably less 'chat', and this, as well as the energy in the songs chosen for it, helped the second set build.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">It could well be that Hilma af Klint had a crush on Rudolf Steiner, met him twice only briefly, but took female lovers (seemingly under the nose of her family and of society at large) : whatever Steiner's actual status in her life, he only appears to be in the film, along with numerous deaths, to give it its rhythms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">However, if what just a quick look at <i><u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilma_af_Klint#Spiritual_and_philosophical_ideas">Wiki</a></u></i>* suggests happened is correct, matters were not as simple as <i>Hilma</i> chooses to tell her story :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><i>In 1908 she met Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the Anthroposophical Society, who was visiting Stockholm. Steiner introduced her to his own theories regarding the Arts, and would have some influence on her paintings later in life.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><i>Several years later, in 1920, she met him again at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, the headquarters of the Anthroposophical Society. Between 1921 and 1930 she spent long periods at the Goetheanum.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet;">By contrast, Edvard Munch, whose hug seems to be presented as puzzlingly shocking - although there is Strindbergian-style sex in the next room to the laying-out of af Klint's father (yet, given the circumstance and the film's generally Freudian tenor, it may betoken yet another unannounced dream ?) – could clearly have acted as a supporter, if his being so demonstrative had not been found <i>insupportable</i>.</span><br />
