Description
The composition was inspired by the biblical book Kohelet - also known as 'The Preacher' or 'Ecclesiastes', an ancient reflection on meaninglessness, filled with both earnest and light thoughts. The interpreter should, while playing, be thinking more in terms of the finer
qualities of a Scarlatti Sonata than on anything too romantically heavy or modern literature - thoughts rise and emerge, but sink down once again and then dissolve repeatedly into something lighter. A Divertimento, a game.
The composition is based upon an ancient Jewish recitation melody, as it would have been used in traditional Judaism during the Festival of Sukkot, of Tabernacles. From this there emerges an individual and interesting rhythmic pattern, which finds its continuation in rhythmic cells, which are derived from Fibonacci numbers.
The Rhythmic which is partially concertinaed into itself should be played exactly, with only little rubati (apart from the sections written with 'tempo free‘) in order to let the pulse of the music slowly unfold. In order to improve legibility, the tied tones are printed with smaller note heads. The pedal should be used in order to get at least close to the written notation.
