Buster
Keaton was one of the
first stars of the silver
screen and appears in the
1928 motion picture,
Steamboat Bill Junior,
one of the undoubted
final highlights of
silent film. Swedish
composer Magnus Lindberg
was so affected by the
stunning film, with its
ambitious and iconic
stunts, that in 1990 he
wrote this terrific piece
for Clarinet and Cello
called Steamboat Bill
Jr.. It is a colourful,
four-movement work of
spectral music, which
hints at minimalism yet
attempts to express the
action and plot of the
film in its eight-minute
duration. This is the
player's score, edited by
Anssi Karttunen and set
for Clarinet and Cello.
The first performance
took place during a
concert by the Toimii
ensemble at the Warsaw
Autumn festival in
September, 1990.
