Beschreibung
"My Trombone Concerto was composed in 2015/16. I wrote it for Mike Svoboda; the sonic beauty of his playing, his great musicality and the clear rationality of his thinking had already impressed me at our first meeting in Basel. I decided to refrain from drawing on Mike’s explorations of newer playing techniques and instead focus on the instrument’s historical vocabulary.
As in many of my pieces, I worked here with contrasting sections: a tonal harmonic quotation (with some quartertone shadings) at the start, an expressive middle section based on emotionally-charged speech melodies (leading to a drawn-out climax), and a songlike ending whose melody consists of very small microtonal steps. There is also a meta-level – removed from the immediate expressivity of the music – in the form of recollections of Armin Köhler, who was a trombonist himself and commissioned me to write the piece.
