Beschreibung
"Escapade was written in 2011 at the instigation of Walter Auer, flautist of the 'Orsolino wind quintet', the ensemble to whom the work is dedicated. In musical language chiefly characterized by the transference of small pitch-groups between instruments, to striking colouristic effect, the composer takes us on a journey through four short movements – “Verworbene Pfade, verlorene Wege” (Criss-crossing Paths, Lost Trails), “Passagen” (Passages), “Gewächse” (Growths) and “Verirrungen, Attacken” (Aberrations, Attacks) — leading us towards and away from momentary staging-posts en route."
