- Sheet music
August Louis Baeyens received his musical training at the Royal Flemish Music Conservatory in Antwerp, studying solfège, viola, and harmony.
As a composer, Baeyens developed chiefly through the study of
composers such as Debussy, Wagner and Strauss; this interest gave
him the reputation of a revolutionary within the confines of the
very traditionalist conservatory.
However, this was not where Baeyens' exploration of musical
language was to end.
The 1956 Piranesi Suite for flute and cello,
written three decades after Baeyens' graduation from the Flemish
Conservatory, marks an intriguing phase of his composition.
Baeyens tended towards older forms - the Suite, for example, is a
five-movement work, though each movement is drawn through a more
modern glass; it's hardly usual to hear a
Sinfonia, Toccata, Moto
Perpetuo, Aria, and
Corrente together.
The resemblance towards older forms breaks down as the music is further examined; the Sinfonia is full of transposed, repetitive melodies that play off each other with sly rhythmic twists (much in the manner of Stravinsky), the Toccata is a powerful solo cello showpiece, and the Aria is a delicate flute melody winding above bitonal cello pizzicato. The final Corrente, belying its name, brings the piece to a close with an accelerating back-and-forth of melody and accompaniment.
