Zgodbe iz skrinjice za kitaro | Uroš Eferl

Profesor glasbe in kitare ter skladatelj Uroš Eferl se je rodil leta 1985 v Mariboru. Srednjo glasbeno šolo je zaključil na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet Ljubljana pri prof. Žarku Ignjatoviću. Diplomiral je iz glasbene pedagogike na Univerzi v Mariboru, kjer je za svoje delo v času študija prejel tudi Perlachovo nagrado. Študij kitare in kompozicije pri prof. Gabrielu Guillenu Navarru in prof. Wolfgangu-Michaelu Bauerju pa je uspešno zaključil na konservatoriju Josepha Haydna v Eisenstadtu.

Zgodbe iz skrinjice je suita za mlade kitariste, ki poizkuša ustvariti različna pravljična vzdušja od naporne dolge poti do krajev, ki so zares Daleč…, kjer lahko na mogočnem belem konju mimo prijezdi Orientalski princ, zagotovo namenjen na kakšen Ples v gozdu, ki ga prirejajo majhni možiclji V dolini škratov. Prav tam se nedvomno rodi Prva ljubezen, ki je ravno tako sladka in čarobna kot vsem ljuba Pot domov.

Melodije so nastajale za moje učence kitare, saj so mladi kitaristi v iskanju novih zanimivih skladb, ki bi jim bile v veselje, največja motivacija za ustvarjanje novih del. V vsakem stavku je pričarano drugačno vzdušje in obravnavana drugačna tehnika igranja, s katero se lahko spoprimejo mladi kitaristi. Pri nastajanju skladb so mi bili v veliko pomoč tudi učenci, ki so skladbe prvi slišali in jih preizkušali; prav njim posvečam to suito.

***********

Uroš Eferl, music and guitar professor and composer, was born in 1985 in Maribor. He went to the Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana to graduate from music high school in the class of Prof. Žarko Ignjatović. He graduated from music pedagogy at the University of Maribor, where he received the Andrej Perlach Award for his work during study. He successfully finished his study of guitar and composing at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory, Eisenstadt, in the classes of Prof. Gabriel Guillen Navarro and Prof. Wolfgang-Michael Bauer.

Tales from the Small Chest (Zgodbe iz skrinjice) is a suite for young guitarists that aims to create various fairy-tale atmospheres from tiring voyages to Faraway … (Daleč …) places where you can meet an Oriental Prince (Orientalski princ) riding on a magnificent white horse to a Ball in the Woods (Ples v gozdu) hosted by tiny men In the Valley of the Elves (V dolini škratov). This may well be a place to find The First Love (Prva ljubezen), as sweet and magical as The Road Back Home (Pot domov) that we all yearn for.

The melodies have been created for my guitar students: in the search for new and interesting pieces they would enjoy playing, young guitarists are the biggest motivation to develop new work. Every movement paints a different atmosphere, but also requires a different technique for the young guitarists to conquer. The first ones to hear and test these pieces, my pupils were of great help in creating them; I am dedicating this suite to them.
