Description
This piece was commissioned by the state of Baden-Wurttemburg, and composed in 1996 for Wolfgang Rüdiger, and later adapted for bass clarinet and baritone sax. The title means, roughly, “with Remembrance.” A veritable compendium of extended techniques, the music calls for rhythmic vibrato manipulations, pitch bending, multiphonics, timbre modifications and timbral trills, quarter tones, harmonics, air sounds, and key clicks, all rolled into a rondo-like form. Other than requiring mastery of the techniques, the piece is only moderately challenging, and unlike many new pieces, it relies very little the upper register; Bb4 being the limit.
