Six Intermezzi (2018)
- Edition Wilhelm Hansen Copenhagen (World)
Programme Note
The intermezzi are composed for two pianos, but in all six of them there is a feeling that it is one big piano being played by four hands, and all the hands try to melt together - to become one single big hand.
Four of the six intermezzi have subtitles from works by Danish visual artists whom I admire – and four friends as well: 1st intermezzo: Light and Infinite (Anette Flensburg), 3rd intermezzo: Going Wild (Bjørn Poulsen), 4th intermezzo; Touchstone (Jesper Christiansen) and 6th intermezzo: Roses in Landscape (Maja Lisa Engelhardt).
Six Intermezzi are composed for ‘Quattro Mani’ and for the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress and dedicated to the memory of Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky.
