Variations
on a Double is a real
musical leviathan: almost
an hour long, it is a
sound-monstrosity that
makes exceptional demands
of the performers, and is
the product of an unusual
degree of fusion of the
clarinet with the piano.
Composed in 2005 for
Csaba Klenyan and Gabor
Csalog, the work
interprets the meaning of
the musical +double+ in
an unconventional way: in
it there is not a union
of two independent
instrumental characters,
each with its individual
identity - as in a
grandiose sonata;
instead, its artistic
form tends in exactly the
opposite direction. A
single, monodically
conceived unit of musical
material passes over and
over again through the
doubling; they do not
form two parts, yet do
not unite in unison, but
present the split face of
a single endless -
fragmented and episodic -
monologue, like Siamese
twins. Beware, this is
only for the musically
mature!
