Lexa, Elisabeth 09/16/1943

Unfortunately I started very late at the age of 31 with possibility of taking instrumental instruction (piano and later fipple flutes). From the get-go the harmonic theory fascinated me, with which I have thoroughly occupied myself. After some years of diligent practicing and learning I had the courage to make harmonious revisions; e.g. I have "recomposed" the Beatles' “Yesterday” for a mixed chamber ensemble in a harmoniously/polyphonic experiment, harmonized various ways, interchanged parts, etc. - only I may not publish this piece for legal reasons. Though this was a success, I did not dare myself to compose a 3-part “Sinfonia da Camera” with my own themes for a small orchestra - all of this after harmony samples from the classical and romantic periods- thus not atonal. This Sinfonia is unfortunately difficult, too complicated and too long for a school orchestra - and a professional orchestra will hardly likely take this on. So still, I also transformed it as sextet with piano and it was well received.
Then came revisions for brass players and strings, et al. a summary of numerous melodies from the “Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss, revisions of Bach's fugues, in addition to salon music and much more.
If someone should have interest in “Yesterday” or my “Sinfonia”, send me a short email at “elilexa@gmx.de”.
