Perfect Sound\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;by Manon de Boer we see the composer and violinist George Van Dam at work. De Boer has already worked with him on earlier films. In this piece he is playing the fourth part, Presto, from Bartok\u0026rsquo;s Sonata for Solo Violin, Sz 117 (1944). The title is taken from Bartok\u0026rsquo;s work. Presto is an originally Italian musical term that indicates the tempo at which a work has to be played. Presto means fast. This Presto is fluent and has a plot-like, almost filmic composition. \u0026lsquo;In this succession of various moods or temperatures we encountered a narrative wealth that made it perfectly suited to a filmed performance,\u0026rsquo; explains the musician Van Dam. De Boer made several recordings of Van Dam\u0026rsquo;s performance and then merged them together. She wanted to approach perfection in a way completely different from what we are familiar with in film. The editing of \u003cem\u003ePresto. Perfect Sound\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;gave rise to a perfect sound, or in other words priority was given to the continuity and quality of the sound over that of the image. This method is commonly employed in the recording of classical music: different recordings of the same piece are cut and pasted in order to arrive at one flawless take. However, De Boer connects the video footage of the separate fragments that were pasted together back to the sound recording. The result is a flawless Presto, but one where the image is shaky. We see the changes of image, but we do not hear them.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn de film \u003cem\u003ePresto. Perfect Sound\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;van Manon de Boer zien we componist/violist George Van Dam aan het werk, met wie de Boer reeds bij eerdere films samenwerkte. Hij speelt het vierde deel Presto uit B\u0026eacute;la Bartoks Sonate voor soloviool Sz 117 (1944). De filmtitel is ontleend aan het werk van Bartok. Presto is een van oorsprong Italiaanse muziekterm die aangeeft in welk tempo gespeeld moet worden. Presto betekent snel. Deze Presto is vlot en heeft een plot-achtige, bijna filmische opbouw. \u0026ldquo;We vonden in deze opeenvolging van verschillende stemmingen of temperaturen een narratieve rijkdom die haar bij uitstek geschikt maakte voor een gefilmd optreden\u0026rdquo; legt musicus Van Dam uit. De Boer maakte verschillende opnames van het optreden van Van Dam waarna ze deze samenvoegde. Ze wou de perfectie benaderen, maar wel op een heel andere wijze dan we gewoon zijn in de film. Bij de montage van \u003cem\u003ePresto. Perfect Sound\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;ontstond een perfect geluid, of met andere woorden, er werd prioriteit gegeven aan de continu\u0026iuml;teit en kwaliteit van het geluid boven dat van het beeld. Deze werkwijze is regulier bij het opnemen van klassieke muziek: men knipt en plakt in verschillende geluidsopnames om tot \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n perfecte take te komen. De Boer koppelt echter het videomateriaal van de afzonderlijke, aan elkaar geplakte fragmenten terug aan het geluid. Het resultaat is een foutloze Presto, maar met haperingen in het beeld. We zien de beeldwisselingen, maar horen ze niet.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":257,"name":"Manon de Boer","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
