“I
belong to that group of
people who appropriate
Debussy's wonderfully
formulated philosophy
according to which music
begins where words end.
Contrary to a view that
has become widespread
during the past 100
years, I am convinced
that the task of the
composer is to write
music, not to talk about
it. Even if my technical
and aesthetic
commentaries on one of my
compositions were to have
a certain value for
listeners, such a
commentary would have the
effect that I were more
or less forcing my own
vision of the work onto
the listener. The power
of music is, however, a
gift that makes it
capable of calling forth
different reactions in
listeners. I shall
therefore limit myself to
saying that the
'Imaginary Variations'
were inspired by the
wonderful recordings of
Janet Packer that I
listened to with the
greatest pleasure prior
to the beginning of my
work. The title is
derived from the fact
that this composition is
structured similarly to
the classical variation
form and that the
audience can listen to
the constant changes of
the musical ideas. In
truth, however, the
twelve short sections of
the work are not true
variations even though
they reveal some
connections and
similarities.â€
(Krzysztof Meyer).
