Work introduction
This work is an extension and a completion of my Incipit series, which was the result of close collaboration with Uwe Dierksen. Following Incipit for alto trombone and 5 instruments (2000) and Esquisse retouchée (Incipit II) for solo trombone and bass drum (2001/2002), this time I set the trombone against larger forces, in the form of a string orchestra with two horns and three percussionists.
The two earlier pieces served as cartographic sketches and topographical indications, with the help of which new territory could be measured and explored, a territory changed by temporal distance and an expanded horizon of experience. Both these two pieces of source material influence the new work, but they are condensed, fractured, newly mounted. As the piece proceeds, new developments and events lead to an independent dramatical significance completely emancipated from the source material.
