Written in 2001, this work was conceived by the need to enlarge the repertoire of works for solo cello, an important goal since the repertoire of such works is limited. Most cellists are limited to performances of such well-known solo works as the Suites of Bach, written almost 300 years ago, as well as other classics of the genre by Max Reger, Zoltan Kodaly, Benjamin Britten, Gaspar Cassado, Enric Casals, etc.The intention of the Suite Exotique is to revolutionize the concept of the Baroque suite by transforming the suite into a collection of modern dances, which are both contemporary and widely recognized today. Thus, the dances of the Baroque suite, such as Allemande, Courante, Sarabande are substituted for the Tango, Milonga, Blues in such a way that the traditional formal structure of six movements of Baroque dances is modernized by rhythms and contemporary styles which coexist in the Modern world, but are separate from and do not pertain to those works which are normally considered to belong to the realm of cultured music.Apart from the fusion represented by the mixture of a Baroque genre with modern, urban musical language found in this work, the subtitle exotica is appropriate due to the originality of writing such a work for cello solo. This work allows the interpreter to explore and take full advantage of their technical, artistic and expressive abilities.This work establishes a total symbiosis between the instrument and the evolutionary transformation of its musical language which in turn creates a style adapted to the expressive requirements of the work itself. The specific techniques and qualities of the cello are placed in service of the required style and concept of each movement of the Suite. At the same time those stylistic characteristics are transformed and adapted to the particular characteristics of the cello and taking full advantage of the instruments polyphonic, sonic, aesthetic qualities as well as its timbre.The Suite Exotique was premiered in August, 2003 during the International Music Festival of Ibiza by the Russian cellist Svetlana Tovstukha.

Immer wieder stelle ich beim Horen und beim Beobachten von Horhaltungen in Proben und Konzerten fest, dass wir uns im Zeitalter der Medien so an das Horen uber Lautsprecher (Schallplatte, CD, Video, Radio, Fernsehen etc.) gewohnt haben, dass durch die Alltaglichkeit solcher Klangbilder das Empfinden fur die Qualitat RAUM fast verkummert ist. Lautsprecher simulieren RAUM bereits in ihrer Sende-Information. Ihre Fahigkeit, Raumlichkeit aus dem realen RAUM, in den sie ihren Klang abstrahlen, zu gewinnen, ist dagegen ausserst gering. Umgekehrt scheint es in der Natur des Instrumentalklangs zu liegen, vollkommen im RAUM aufgehen zu konnen, gerade in ihm das Neue, Einmalige seines Klingens zu finden und mit ihm erst das Klangleben aufbauen zu mussen. Im Prozess des ,,..... in die Stille-Gehens hat der Cellist Tone und Klange zu realisieren, die bis zum siebenfachen Piano reichen. Dies sollen jedoch keine Lautstarken sein, die eine blosse Erweiterung der Lautstarkenskala ins Unhorbare sind, sondern eher die Realisierung einer besonderen Form von RAUM-KLANG. Die Wirkung des Instruments als Ort der Abstrahlung verringert sich dadurch zugunsten eines Klangs, der sozusagen nur noch im RAUM alleine, wie ,,insistierend, vorhanden zu sein scheint. Es ist die schwebende Prasenz einer Beinahe-Lautlosigkeit wie etwa im Goethe-Vers ,,In allen Wipfeln spurest du/kaum einen Hauch. Je lautloser, desto prasenter! (Nicolaus A. Huber, 27. Juli 1998) Bibliography : ,,Es gibt Dinge, die sind richtig, aber sie ruhen. Nicolaus A. Huber im Gesprach mit Michael Struck-Schloen , in: MusikTexte, Heft 154 (August 2017), S. 31-37.World premiere: Furth, November 8, 1998.
