en Duration: 6’ <br/>For: violin<br/>Commissioned by Davina van Wely Violin Competition<br/>Première: The Hague, 3 February 2007<br/><br/><br/>The title Raadsels (Riddles) alludes to the French titles of the three parts: Prière, Vexations, and Harmonies.<br/>Why those titles? That is the riddle.<br/>The piece relates to Xenia, another composition for violin solo, which I composed a year earlier. The three parts in both pieces have the same ratio: 4:5:3, but Riddles is 2/3 shorter in time, just 6 minutes. This is because it was written for an international competition for young violinists.<br/>One cue to unravel the riddle: Vexations you probably know as a piano piece by Erik Satie.<br/><br/>Louis Andriessen<br/>
