Description
Rather as in Schönberg's Accompaniment to a cinematographic scene, the theme of this piano
piece is the threat of unspoken fears and dangers. But in contrast to Schönberg's
orchestral composition, which is written in the autonomous musical language of
expressionism, the present piece uses only stereotyped formulae, drawn from the
kind of commercial music familiar to every viewer. By deliberately rejecting a
current “contemporary” style, I tried a different starting point for a problem
that allows for contrasting solutions and realisations.
Already with the first chords of the piece, the
listener may recognise that repertoire of acoustic anecdotes which is readily
dissociable from the illustration of moving pictures. But the relationship of
this music with the representation of disturbing Situations – which are only
vaguely, rather than precisely, etched in the listener's memory – permits a
collage-like treatment of various film scenes. And thus, from dramatic situations
of disparate origin, a particular, renovated mental image can be created.
