Work
Variationen über 10 Haiku. Vienna: Ludwig Doblinger.
Duration
8 minutes
Description
This piece was composed in 1990, and premiered in Vienna by its dedicatee, Johannes Platzer, on June 26, 1992. The music is pitch-centric, and based on a motive of rising sixths. It seems the music is attempting to capture the spirit of the haiku, the text of which is provided, rather than match the settings in a literal manner. The music is challenging, and the top-most pitch is D5.
