Work comment by the composer:
The lonely one was composed during May and June of the year 2000. It was written for Annika Gustafsson, to whom it is also dedicated. It was world-premiered on December 1 the same year in Caroli Church in Malmo. After that I had composed The Threat of War that was a dramatic and massive work for orchestra, I wanted to focus on melodic as well as harmonic and rhyhtmical processes combined with a inner dramatic content. In this case the solo violin works as a narrator where the piece itself is like a monologue without words.
In the score there are imprinted expressions like racontare (tellingly), piacevole (pleasingly) och sospirare(sighing).
The lonely one is divided in three sections.
1. Doloroso (Painful) - the violin plays almost imperceptly sighing glissandi that forms the basic material of the work. Its character is constantly searching. It leads up to the section Risoluto (Resolute) that has a very determined and edgy expression.
2. Misterioso (Mysteriously) - the materials from the previous section are now further developed. It builds up and breaks down during the course of the journey. Eventually it reaches a climax on a high d.
3. Calmando e espressivo (Calmingly and expressive) - From the high d it is stepping down to a recapture on material from the first part slightly changed and moody character. It dies out slowly with the lonely notes.
