As far back
as I can remember, I have
always been fascinated
with fairy tales: with
their archetypal
characters and set
phrases like'Once upon a
time...'and'...they all
lived happily ever
after'. Fairy tales were
however also a source of
unrest for me as a
seismograph of mankinds
underlying primal fears
and desires. So as a
performer and composer I
have always felt that
Robert Schumann's
Marchenerzahlungen [Fairy
Tales] (scored for the
same instrumentation as
my own composition) was a
disjointed, complex
contemporary work -
despite the innocence and
naivety of its initial
appearance. I therefore
do not intend my own Es
war einmal (Once upon a
time...)to be a mere
sentimental, nostalgic
flight into the distant
past, but as a naive and
fantastical alternative
concept to our genuine
world with all its
upheavals. Jorg
Widmann.
