Lonely Sadness - Ondřej Adámek

16. říjen 2002

Lonely Sadness is a spatial composition. Reshuffling of musicians in the concert hall forms the formal substrate of the composition and has also extra-musical implications as it depicts different situations in a relationship of two people.

It also inspires an interval choice. We proceed slowly from the point of consonant harmonics towards tense dissonant planes. Further on in the piece, the author utilizes effects of reverberation together with effects of tension between quarter-tones and minute rhythmical deviations. Adámek uses extreme clarinet positions and in order to achieve tones lower than the actual instrument range he imposes special techniques.
