Trio For Clarinet In Bb, Viola & Cello

I began work on this piece shortly before the invasion of Ukraine. I have to admit that seeing the news reports of the war on the news every night definitely affected me and it shows in this piece. The title is the date of the invasion.

As a life-long viola fan (and a viola player myself too), this is intended as a study on virtuosic aspects of viola, to overcome its inherent timbral/structural “imperfections”, which makes the instrument as a kind of laughing stock, for example; being a victim of so-called “Viola jokes”. Also, the pieces are a kind of hommage or rather a violation of repertoires by the composers of 20th century which helped expand the instrumental possibility of viola.

Ein letztes Winken

The world of classical music is a lot like a video game: when first learning music, a person starts at level one. As music becomes more challenging, the musician levels up; competition and audition victories can be equated to conquering a final boss. In pairing violin virtuosity with video game violence, this work examines artistic ambition, the demands of performance, the pain of failure and the fleeting pleasure of achievement.

Alpenglow is a string quartet about the little moments that matter the most. It is about the seemingly insignificant things that evoke a warm and fuzzy feeling, about something as simple as the joy of watching the sunrise or sunset against the Rocky Mountains.

Music does not have to be nice to the ear and does not have to follow trends and "schools". But it must come from your heart and soul and convey everything you want to say but cannot express in words.
