Metamorphosen
ie Für Klarinette und Klavier
ev
pr
Metamorphosen is a cycle of six fragments for clarinet and piano written in a free
Twelve-tone technique. It is an earlier work that was composed in February 2000
and first performed in Minsk in June of the same year. The six characteristic pieces
are fragmentary not only in form and duration, but also in style. They are
fragments of musical memories in which numerous heterogeneous stylistic and
generic features meet in a free and fluent exploration of a basic Twelve-tone row
that is itself a historical phenomenon. I have lately decided to give the pieces titles
that reflect characteristic images that were related to them from the very beginning:
