Work introduction
This is a funny, sometimes thoughtful, but always heartfelt work. It is like Wondrak himself. The character created by Janosch (*1931) holds many a wisdom for us. Set to music here are twelve of the, in my opinion, most impressive ones.
An essential element of the work is the way it is set: it is a mixture of sounds from the Second Viennese School and a sequence of major triads. This mixture is intended to give children their first contact with New Music.
What is necessary to perform this work?
I highly recommend that the instrumentalists play from the score!
