"n.e.u.e_b.a.h.n.e.n"
A "short ride through the avant-gardes of music history" from Machaut via Monteverdi, Beethoven, Liszt, Dvorak, Satie and Webern to a world premiere by Gerald Eckert.

The title of the program alludes to Robert Schumann's article "Neue Bahnen" in the "Neue Musikzeitung", which praised the young Johannes Brahms as the composer of the future. And so this program not only deals with the music of the present time, but also presents avant-gardists from 700 years of music history, beginning with a motet by the French Guillaume de Machaut, of whom not only the oldest mass setting has survived, but also the fundamental ones established rules of counterpoint and melody that still apply today.
It will also be heard how Carlo Gesualdo, Franz Liszt or Ludwig van Beethoven broke the harmonic habits of their time, how Claudio Monteverdi, Carl Philip Emanuel Bach or John Cage invented new forms of composition, or how Antonin Dvorak, Eric Satie or Anton Webern made traditional forms create something new.

A concert in a special constellation. A counterpart between dance and instrumental expression. Lisa McGuire, the Austrian dancer who already performed at this year's Provinzlärm Festival in Eckernförde, forms the dance counterpoint to the sound spheres.

"Gran Duo"

 

 

Focus Duo is a four-part festival series that exclusively presents purely instrumental duo compositions.

 

In the Duo Reflexion K, the Ensemble Reflexion K, one of the outstanding ensembles in contemporary music, concentrates on its core and starting point. It is the two founders of the ensemble - the flautist Beatrix Wagner and the composer and cellist Gerald Eckert - who come together in this duo and develop programs of a very special kind.

 

In their first concert at this year's festival, the focus is on a single composer and a single work: the premiere of Stefan Streich's Gran Duo. It is the broad arcs, the proliferation of processes and states, of individual sounds and mixtures, of figures and surfaces, of static durations and dramatic developments that interest the composer. The music is a permanent in-between, a constant both-and: it jumps and glides between narrative figures and abstract textures, between clusters and tonalities, tone and noise. The instruments are often narrow and parallel, like a two-part solo instrument, and sometimes wide, like a mini orchestra. Opposites here are not contradictions, but rather two sides of the same coin.

 

Gran Duo is more of a colloid than a sound chemical solution. It is difficult to say whether the sounds are only distributed very finely or dissolve completely, whether the progressions are stringent or chaotic. The result, ideally, is a third one either way.

 

Gran Duo lasts approximately 80 minutes and consists of nine parts between three and 18 minutes.

"Nachtbogen"

  

Focus Duo is a four-part festival series that exclusively presents purely instrumental duo compositions.

 

In the second concert by the Duo Reflexion K at the Klangwerkstatt Berlin 2023, two pieces confront each other. The polar approach focuses on the idea of ​​concentration. It is an evening of fragile sounds. Complex overtone mixtures and what is just audible explore the acoustic and architectural space. Perception oscillates between not-yet, presence and no-longer.
Composizione per flauto e violoncello (2017) is the name of the central 45-minute piece written by the Italian composer Emiliano Turazzi for the duo. The intentional fragility of the sounds, the uncertainty, creates enormous tension when listening, especially in the contrasts of dynamics and the alternation between static and impulsive sections. The music seems to arise “unpredictably” from the moment. Similar to Gerald Eckert's Duo Nachtbogen (2001): He works with sound states that, at the moment of their creation, already show a tendency to disappear - evanescent spaces between worlds.
