Description:
Program note (English): In order to understand the intention of this piece, for which various interpretations are possible according to the differences in mental inclination and musicality of the audience, ears, not eyes are needed. The piece should not be read, but listened to. Contrary to the listener, the reader can determine his own tempo and reread a fragment. Therefore new pieces should be performed several times, either at the same concert or at the following one, so that the listener once again hears the piece. When it is a good piece (composer's activity) and the listener gradually succeeds in following the musical mental process (listener's activity), he will have conquered a new world; communication will have taken place. And only then listeners can explain the piece to one another bringing out the different paths they have found in the musical landscape. In this confrontation the composer can function as listener. - JOEP STRAESSER
