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.
