ad absurdum
Concerto for trumpet in Bb and small orchestra
trumpet and small orchestra
In meinem Trompetenkonzert wird das Konzert als Gattung wörtlich „ad absurdum“ geführt. Auch wenn es an der Oberfläche heiter zugeht, so endet es doch mit dem Tod des Solisten in dem Moment, in dem der Trompeter das schnelle Tempo nicht mehr bewältigen kann. Die Drehorgel spitzt es weiter zu und erhöht es – stellvertretend für den Trompeter – noch einmal. Das Stück endet zynisch, mit dem Aufkündigen des Konsenses, dass der triumphierende Solist existiert.

Description
This piece already begins at a finishing point: the tempo is so fast that it cannot be increased. What interests me is the point at which conventional virtuosity suddenly tips over into an acoustic grey area in which rapid successive points are perceived as a single surface.
Although the trumpet part verges on the almost unplayable, it deliberately offers no development possibilities in the literal sense of the term. The trumpeter is a playmaker who gleefully displays maximum velocity right from the start, yet, revolving in his momentum strangely stolidly, he is ultimately imprisoned in his own virtuosity and suffocates. Jörg Widmann
