I see my music now as a synthesis of these elements, combined with what I learned from Grisey and the spectralists, and I detect from Kraft to my latest pieces the same underlying tastes and sense of drama.” – Magnus Lindberg The shift in musical thinking that Magnus Lindberg thus described in December 2012, a few weeks before the premiere of Era, was utter and profound. Lindberg’s composer profile has evolved from his early edgy modernism, “carved in stone” to use his own words, to the softer and more sonorous idiom that he has embraced recently, suggesting a spiritual kinship with late Romanticism and the great masters of the early 20th century. On the other hand, in the same comment Lindberg also mentioned features that have remained constant in his music, including his penchant for drama going back to the early defiantly modernistKraft (1985).

Anna Hashimoto Clarinet Works by Black Composers Krzysztof Penderecki’s Clarinet Works TO DESIGN OUR NEW CLARINET MOUTHPIECE WE HAD TO GO TO MILAN “I am so happy to play the Chedeville Umbra because it is so sweet, dark, so full of colors like when you listen to Pavarotti. You have absolutely all kind of harmonics, you don’t have to force or push, and the vibration of the reed, the mouthpiece, the material, it’s connected with my heart.” Milan Rericha – International Soloist, Co-founder RZ Clarinets The New Chedeville Umbra Clarinet Mouthpiece Our new Umbra Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece creates a beautiful dark sound full of rich colors. Darker in sound color than our Elite model, it also has less resistance, a combination that is seldom found in a clarinet mouthpiece. Because it doesn’t add resistance, you will have no limits in dynamics, colors or articulation. Each mouthpiece is handcrafted at our factory in Savannah Georgia Life Without Limits through a combination of new world technology and old world craftsmanship, and to the highest standards of excellence.

    PENDERECKI Bruno Fidrych © Faustyczna pasja niszczenia jeszcze nigdy nie posunęła się tak daleko. […] Dla człowieka, który odwykł od świętości, natura jest jednak tworem martwym, pozbawionym transcendentalnych odniesień. I niewiele pomoże tu ekologiczny racjonalizm. Śmierć drzew, lasów, tropikalnych dżungli to nie jest tylko problem biologiczny. Kultura, która grzeszy przeciwko lasom, podcina własną rację bytu. Krzysztof Penderecki, 1995 Tak powstała teza Krzysztofa Pendereckiego o „desakralizacji natury”, która w sferze twórczości muzycznej zakiełkowała ideą VI Symfonii, początkowo mającej nosić tytuł Elegia na umierający las. Andrzej Sułek, fragment eseju The Faustian destructive passion has never gone so far in history. […] To humans who are no longer used to contact with the sacrum, nature is but an lifeless entity, devoid of transcendental associations. Ecological rationalism can be of little use in this context. The death of trees, woods, tropical jungles – is not merely a biological problem. A culture that sins against forests undermines its own raison d’être. Krzysztof Penderecki, 1995 Penderecki advances here his thesis concerning the ‘desacralisation of nature’, which, in his work as a composer, gave rise to the idea of Symphony No. 6, which originally received the subtitle Elegy for a Dying Forest. Andrzej Sułek, an excerpt from the essay KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI (ur./b. 1933) 6. Sinfonie „Chinesische Lieder”* (2008–17) [26‘42] für Bariton und Orchester nach Gedichten von Li-Tai-Po, Thu-Fu, Ly-Y-Han, Thang-Schi-Yie-Tsai und Tschan-Jo-Su in der Nachdichtung von Hans Bethge Symphony No. 6 “Chinese Songs”* for baritone and orchestra based on poems by Li-Tai-Po, Thu-Fu, Ly-Y-Han, Thang-Schi-Yie-Tsai and Tschan-Jo-Su in the German adaption by Hans Bethge 1 I.

Since 1939, nearly all disciplines have been represented over the years, from orchestra Instruments to chamber music, piano and voice. The only exception was composition, a discipline essential to performers but often ill regarded by the public. Now however, in Geneva, the two worlds now cohabit. By offering a Composition Prize, for which the award winning work will be compulsory for performers the following year, the Geneva International Music Competition hopes to contribute to the emergence of a true musical modernity, whereby the creative act of the composer will be regarded with the same standards of respect and admiration as the re-creative act of the performer. The Geneva Competition’s Composition Prize follows the tradition started with the Prix Reine Marie José, which was awarded from 1958 to 2008 to more than 20 works from diverse disciplines, ranging from quartets to concertos, symphonies to pieces for solo and electronic instruments. With the support of the Fondation Reine Marie José, the Geneva public now has the possibility of watching a performance of the , of awarding the Audience Prize to the piece of its choice and of re-listening to the award-winning work the following year, during the competition performances.
