Programme Notes
Written in 1997,
The Road
was commissioned by the Hessischer Rundfunk for the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. The title and following text came to the composer after the piece was completed:
The title refers to an image from childhood of sun with high wind on a remote road. The music is looked at as if it were a series of objects whose secret must be grasped - there is no turning away until the force of each is perceived. This intent looking gives the material a vertiginous aspect, and clouds its origin.
