Note
My ’6 Pieces
for horn, violin and
piano’ was written
in 1984 as a commission
from the Danish Radio for
a concert where
Ligeti’s Horn Trio
should receive its Danish
premiere played by Danish
musicians. My trio is
based on my work
’Studies for
Piano’. While I
wrote these studies I
tried to ’conjure
up’ instrumental
parts inside the piano
movement. When I received
the commission for a horn
trio I turned to six of
the studies and deepened
them by ’screening
them’ so that their
partsand moods appeared
in a clearer way.
Furthermore I changed the
order of the movements so
a new unity appeared,
beginning with a steadyly
hesitating
’Serenade’ in
slow-motion followed by
the
’Arabesque’
which hardly gets started
before it stops. Then
’Blues’, a
melancholy melody and
’Marcia
Funebre’, like a
fossilized picture with a
dramatic threatening
outburst ending with a
quiet but majestic melody
in violin and horn, a
melody that disappears in
the chords of the piano.
Before the last movement
’For the
Children’ is a
large ’Scherzo
misterioso’.
