Description
"Throws" documents Fields' third work of the re-imagination of classical masterpieces. The starting point for this approach was a processing of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Suites for Violoncello". The equally unconventional approach to the scores of Haydn's "Sonnenquartette" was based on a composition commission from the renowned Haydn Festival. The pieces of "Throws" were also composed as a result of a composition commission, directly from the Beethoven city of Bonn on the occasion of his 250th birthday in 2020. The late string quartets were among three different projects that Fields had proposed on request.
Beethoven and Sumo rings - how can they fit together? No problem for Scott Fields. The energetic guitarist and composer, who cavorts carefree between jazz, classical, rock, improvised and contemporary music, has recently processed the five late string quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven for his string Feartet--"re-imagined" as he describes the process of highly creative transformation he has developed. He named the results, the recording of which now appears on "Throws", after terms from traditional Japanese sumo ring art: the titles of the pieces are names of certain throws with which sumo fighters throw their opponents onto the mat. Scott Fields chose five of his personal favourite throws.
