Polka Schnell F. Klar., 2 Vl., Vla., Vc.. Par STRAUSS JOHANN (FILS). Weil kultivierte Geselligkeit ohne Musik kaum denkbar ist, konnte das traditionsreiche Verlagshaus Doblinger kaum einen besseren Titel als 'Wiener Melange' für seine Reihe mit Alt-Wiener Tanzmusik wählen, in der effektvolle und gut spielbare Bearbeitungen populärer Kompositionen von Johann Strauß Sohn u. a. erschienen sind. Die Besetzung orientiert sich an den Gepflogenheiten bürgerlicher Haus- und Salonmusik - was dem ungarischen Fürsten die eigene Hofkapelle im Ballsaal seiner Wiener Residenz, war dem Geheimen Rat das Streichquartett im großbürgerlichen Salon (oft übernahm dabei der klangstärkere Kontrabass die Stelle des Cellos)./ Répertoire / Musique de Chambre

Delta for Saxofon Cello og Piano (2005). Programme note: Some of my works are created in several stages where an earlier work or movement are reborn or recomposed as part of a new work. For instance “Suite for Martin” (1967) for saxophone amplified accordion and prepared piano - used in a Danish documentary film “Kongens Enghave” - was rearranged by me in 2004 in a new instrumentation for saxophone cello and piano and named MELANCOLIA (duration 12 minutes) which became the third movement (with the title MALINCONIA) in an enlarged version from 2005 with the title DELTA (duration around 20minutes). A delta is be nature moving outwards or rather downwards downstream.This movement is characteristic for all three works mentioned. EUFONIA. In the first movement of DELTA the music changes from the light hearted and harmonious towards a darker sound.In the second movement NOSTALGIA this darker colour is intensified dominating the whole movement. MALINCONIA the third and last movement completes the direction downwards – during six shorter sections – going towards a black edged pessimism (and a “black sound”). Per Nørgård (2005)
