'Humour
plays a role, and my
pieces are also an
attempt to entertain
people.' Words not often
associated with
contemporary music, but
Wilhelm Killmayer wants
to place fun and
seriousness side by side.
Different tonal spheres
are found in the
'Impromptu' and the
jaunty 'Scherzo lento'
which uses tap tones for
example. The 'Chorale'
that follows allows the
music to drift seamlessly
into atonality. In the
fourth romance 'Im
Schumannschen Ton' ('The
Schumann Sound'), a
diatonic melody is
complicated so much that
the ending distorts to
the beginning, 'just like
man combines many
different qualities'.In
the concluding
'Capriccio', shifting
time signatures and
dynamic
fluctuations are
combined in a virtuoso
manner. A humourous piece
which demands the purest
concentration from the
players.
