So if we take the new piece, ” A DARK SONG” for Solo Bassclarinet ( premiere : Fintan Sutton , November 25 at the Royal Irish Academy of Music together with the Vanbrugh´s premiere – again with Fintan Sutton- of the RTE commissioned CLARINET QUINTET ) : what on earth is this short solo work about or ” about” ? My writhings? The composer´s breakfast ? The kittens´song ? ( They can´t. No ) Is it about shaping a lovely line ? Melodic curves ? Multicoloured intervals ? Musical ” ideas” ? Or what ? My free play ( nothing´s free nowadays … ) ?
With those few intervals ? And their derived ideas, eh ?
MORE SENSE THAN NON
