Krusning Skiktning

for piano and orchestra

Krusning Skiktning foto-rotated

One of the main ideas of Krusning Skiktning (2013) is different kinds of oscillations; the pianos well tempered tuning and the microtonality of the orchestra creates interferences, and ”fluttering” motions are created through extended techniques. After the orchestral opening in the first movement, the piano enters; a hardly visible and very tranquil wave above the symphonic sound – a ripple (Krusning). The narrow pitch material gets wider, the intervals extend, motions become more dramatic, the material changes – stratifies (Skiktning).

Durata: 21′

Score available at Svensk Musik.

Krusning Skiktning (2013)
for piano and orchestra

One of the main ideas of the piece is different kinds of oscillations; the pianos well tempered tuning and the microtonality of the orchestra creates interferences, and ”fluttering” motions are created through extended techniques.

After the orchestral opening in the first movement, the piano enters; a hardly visible and very tranquil wave above the symphonic sound – a ripple (krusning). As the music continues, the soloists role becomes more prominent and the piano leads the music forward in the rest of the movement. The narrow pitch material gets wider, the intervals extend, motions become more dramatic, the material changes – stratifies (skiktar).

The shorter second movement follows as an exclamation mark, the focus shifts to rhythmics rather than harmony.

Program note (Swedish)

Krusning Skiktning (2013)
för piano och orkester

En av verkets grundidéer är olika typer av svängningar; interferenser uppstår mellan pianots vältempererade stämning och orkesterns mikrotonalitet, ”fladdrande” rörelser skapas genom okonventionella speltekniker.

En bit in i första satsen träder pianot in; en knappt synlig och mycket stillsam vågrörelse ovanpå orkesterklangen – en krusning. Solisten får så småningom en alltmer framträdande roll och det är pianot som för musiken framåt i resten av satsen. Det snäva tonmaterialet breddas, intervallerna blir större, rörelserna mer dramatiska: materialet förändras – skiktas.

Den kortare andra satsen följer som ett utropstecken där musikens fokus förskjuts mot rytmik snarare än harmonik.
