Created as a way of overcoming one’s own school problems and memories

1971/1976 (open)
Mixed Styles

The intimacy of the composition requires an appropriate concert hall atmosphere. One possibility is to place the piano in a romantic living environment. This means using attributes such as: Radio set, sofa, armchair, floor lamp, carpet, table. The composition can also serve as a “frame piece” of a music programme. In this case, the score is played during the breaks of the other music pieces and at the beginning and end of the concert.

For me, the composition once again means a musical description/processing of my own personal youth problems, views and memories. Because of the very personal character of the piece, it is advisable to contact the composer before any interpretation.
