It is sound what I am most concerned with, when I am composing. To me sound can be like a living
being – sometimes with its own wishes and caprices. I try to understand it, change it, sometimes I have to
accept its intrinsic behavior and change my own perspective.
The recitativo-sound is light, flighty, impulsive, shy. It is difficult to catch. It feels like it wants to tell
you something but it hesitates. The impulses from piano can encourage it. The stronger these impulses
are – the more can be said. Imagine a feather floating on a breeze. All you want to do is to keep this feather
floating… Imagine breathing at it, while you play.
