The
piece is about observing
the most diverse anxiety
states in extreme degrees
of emotional intensity,
from slight distress up
to acute panic attacks.
What interests me here is
not merely the musical
realization of these
phenomena, but grasping
the energetic nature of
those psycho-physical
processes, emotions,
reflexes, and
proceedings. To this end,
I'm seeking, at the
clarinet myself, for an
intimate sound world
where expanded styles of
playing in a flexible and
permanently moving
context appear. A very
intensive music of the
nerves, with a broad
palette of
psycho-physical emotions
that, found in myself and
my surroundings, are made
audible. The title
Psychogramm II has (as
always) a subtitle:
rettegos (fearful). In
the order of increasingly
emotional anxiety words,
this stands for the
highest level and means
very great, profound
anxiety, though in a
grammatical form not in
fact devitalizing the
serious idea, but
mitigating it a bit, not
entirely without humor
and somewhat childishly.
