A type of instrument that produces sound by rubbing the rim of a glass cup or basin with wet fingers. A representative example is the practical version invented in 1761 by B. Franklin, who lined up basins and turned them with a pedal. It produces a clear, sweet tone and was popular in Western Europe from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Because the friction noise caused nerve damage, improvements were made to the instrument using keys, pads, and bows, but they fell out of use. Works written for this instrument include Mozart's Adagio K.617a (1791) and Beethoven's theatrical piece Leonore Prochaska (1815). Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ガラスのコップや水盤などの縁を濡れた指でこすって発音させる楽器の一種。B.フランクリンが1761年,水盤を並べてペダルで回す機構を考案し,実用化したものが代表的。透き通る甘い音色で,18世紀後半から19世紀初頭の西欧で流行した。摩擦音により神経障害を起こすので,鍵盤式,パット,弓などでこする改良があったが廃れた。作品としては,この楽器のために書いたモーツァルトの《アダージオ》K.617a(1791),ベートーベンの演劇用の《レオノーレ・プロハスカ》(1815)などがある。
