Schiphorst, Iris ter: Vielleicht Gestern

for bass clarinet

A varied stream of thoughts for bass clarinet - "free" and "restless", "tender" and "brutal", "evil", "singing". This short solo piece, like an exclamation mark, gives the interpreter room to free him-/herself, to shake off conventions, in short, to play. The composer, a professor of media composition (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) and guest professor of experimental composition (Berlin University of the Arts) among others, encourages quasi-improvisation, a wild ride through emotional states and playing techniques. Caution, risk of explosion!
