For many
years, I have been
repeatedly asked by solo
guitarists and guitar
duos to write pieces for
them. The Aleph Guitar
Quartet and I have
finally brought it off!
The piece is called Der
entkommene Orpheus (The
Escaped Orpheus).In the
old equal rights movement
everything was treated as
equally as possible,
right from the beginning.
The tones felt
democratically happy.
Only discontent found
cause to complain. It
ultimately hated this
complex explicitness. The
meaning, also in cases of
definite tendencies in
the piece, should never
be able to lead a
definite life. This
piece, naturally, is just
a tiny contribution!In
the myth, Orpheus even
enchanted stones and
trees, turned around too
soon to look at his
beloved Eurydice (just
think of the punctuality
fanatic Schonberg - at
least according to
Richard Buhlig), refused
the service of Dionysus -
and he, who had plucked
the strings of the lyre
his whole life long, was
now himself torn up by
the Thracian Maenads as a
punishment. But his head
and his lyre floated over
the sea and landed on
Lesbos. A string is a
string is a side!!!Like a
coded word, this text is
placed at the service of
the varied role of the
organiser of New Music.
Like an equation.
Shouldn't an organiser
ever actually turn around
towards a lover, so that
the Furies of present-day
responsibility do not
drive him into a state of
inner conflict?Nicolaus
