en Duration: 12'<br/>For: harpsichord<br/>Commissioned by the Johan Wagenaar Stichting <br/>Dedicated to Annelie de Man<br/><br/>A harpsichord has little to do with a piano, but rather with plucked instruments such as harp, guitar, lute. Orpheus' prelude playing came to my mind when writing the composition. A reference to dramatic development in this piece makes it an overture for an imaginary opera in which Orpheus plays the leading part.<br/>The fringe between canon and unisono techniques just as in my other works from recent years – is the musical subject of the composition.<br/><br/><br/>L.A.<br/>
