Musizierende brechen ein Tabu – Karriere auf Kosten der Gesundheit | Reporter | SRF
Sie stehen unter Leistungsdruck und sind einem harten Konkurrenzkampf ausgesetzt: Professionelle Musikerinnen und Musiker zahlen einen hohen Preis, um von ihrer Musik leben zu können. Im Gegensatz zum Spitzensport ist ihre Gesundheit im Berufsleben oft ein Tabu. _____________________________________________ 🔔 Abonniere jetzt SRF Dok auf YouTube https://www.youtube.com/srfdok?sub_confirmation=1 👉 Möchtest du bei uns ein Thema vorschlagen? Dann schreib uns an: dokonline@srf.ch _____________________________________________ Anaïs Chens Finger machen nicht mehr mit. Jahrelang ging bei der Schweizer Violinistin alles gut. Doch nun steht die Karriere der international renommierten Künstlerin für Alte Musik auf dem Spiel. Sie leidet unter einer fokalen Dystonie, dem Musikerkrampf. Gegenüber SRF «Reporter» bricht sie ein Tabu und zeigt ungeschönt, was es bedeutet, wenn bei einer Profi-Musikerin die Gesundheit nicht mehr mitspielt. Wird sie es schaffen, auf die Bühne zurückzukehren? «SRF Reporter» begleitet die 43-Jährige auf ihrem Weg zwischen Diagnose und Karriere. _____________________________________________ ▪ Ein Film von Lukas Schnyder ▪ Kamera: Lukas Schnyder, Thierry Graf ▪ Schnitt: Sabrina Inderbitzi ▪ Redaktion: Kathrin Winzenried ▪ Produktion: B&B Endemol Shine AG ▪ Produktionsleitung: Christine Rindisbacher ▪ Leitung: Anita Richner _____________________________________________ Das ist «Reporter»: Unsere Reportagen rücken einzelne Menschen ins Zentrum.

Anaïs Chen improvises on the viola tenore upon "Io canterei d'amor" by Cipriano de Rore
Ciprian's madrigal "Io canterei d'amor" (1547) is one of my most favorite pieces. Of course its beauty lies in the sublime contrapuntal interwoven texture, but I tried to catch and enhance something of its character as I feel it, ornamenting (making so called diminutions of the plain melody lines) and jumping through all four voices in a way that its structure remains understandable although I play only one voice at a time. On a violin this would have been impossible, but with the viola tenore which is tuned one octave below the violin, here in 465 Hz, I can touch all voices from the luckily rather low soprano line of this madrigal down to some of the bass lines (which I enjoy very much as a violinist :)). Text by Petrarca: Io canterei d'amor si novamente ch'al duro fiancho il dì mille sospiri trarrei per forza, et mille alti desiri racconterei ne la gelata mente; E'l bel viso vedrei cangiar sovente, et bagnar gli occhi, et più pietosi giri far, come suol chi de gli altrui martiri et del suo error quando non val si pente. I would sing of love in so new a way I would draw a thousand sighs from that hard heart, and light a thousand noble desires in that chill mind: and I would see her often change expression, and wet her eyes, and turn more pityingly, like one who, when it's no use, repents of other's suffering and her own error. (translation by A.S. Kline)

Anaïs Chen plays Aria del Tasso and Grave by Giuseppe Tartini
The relation of nature, popular music like the Venetian Aria del Tasso (on verses from Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata") and "musica artificiosa" were central topics in Tartini's thinking. Furthermore, he tried to imitate vocality as much as possible on the violin, but strangely enough didn't write one single vocal piece saying that he knows that the voice is not like in instrument with a fingerboard. In this video I tried to give some room to these two relations choosing the ambiance and acoustics of the woods and giving some vocality to my interpretation even if there are many improvised ornaments as Tartini might have imagined the performer to do - at least his treatise about ornamentation suggests a very abundant use of them.

Anaïs Chen plays "Passaggio rotto e fantasia" by Nicola Matteis
Nicola Matteis emigrated as a young virtuoso violinist in the 1670s from the area of Naples to London. Roger North, a contemporary essayist, wrote about him: ‘I remember no Italians till Nicola came, and he lay obscurely in the city; by the favour of a merchant whom he had converted to his profit; his circumstances were low, and it was say'd that he travelled thro' Germany on foot with his violin under a full coat at his back. But his pride and arrogance was incomparable, and if he had not found that easy merchant, he had starved before he could have bin known. He was brought to play afore the King and divers great person, in order to be pensioned, but his manner did not take. Sr R. Lestrage, an exquisite violist, Sr Wm Waldgrave, that did wonders upon the archlieute, and Mr Bridgman, that dealt a thro-base upon an harpsichord, found him out to be a superlative genius, But they were forced with all their eloquence to charme him into a complaisance with the English humour, which was to be easy, free, and familiar, and to let gentlemen, not the best hands, have his company in consorts.'
