Beauty: ...melancholy...wild... (2025)
(A Portrait for 20 Solo Strings)- C.F. Peters GmbH & Co. KG (World)
Programme Note
Nowadays, ‘beauty’ is an inflationary, ‘ironed out’ and generalised term, especially in the field of advertising and generalised, and as a result often has a negative connotation, whose originally positive meaning has been clouded in many respects and robbed of its original poetry.
‘BEAUTY’ is an attempt at a compositional approach to the unadulterated original meaning of this phenomenon, and does so on a wide variety of levels:
soloistic/orchestral, melodic/harmonic, noisy/tonal, melancholic/wild, quiet and loud.....
The phenomenon of SOUND COLOUR is of the utmost importance in this piece.
