Work
for Violin and Piano
dating from 1999. The
composer writes: 'Sieben
Sehnsuchte was written in
1999 for David Alberman
and Rolf Hind. As the
title suggests, it is in
seven movements - each
more insanely difficult
and bothersome than the
other. All sorts of
possible and impossible
playing techniques have
been used, and the
performers have to both
whistle and sing.
However, it is not the
intention that the
slightly more unusual
sound should be heard as
effects. Everything is
supposed to fuse together
into something that is in
itself a little opera - a
'chamber piece'. It was
written in a period when
I was waiting impatiently
for the libretto for
Under the Sky, and I see
it as a meeting (or seven
meetings) between two
people - two instruments
- longing for each other;
longing to merge
together. The piece is a
kind of sister work to
Roses are Falling.'.
