The performance will also include a selection from John Cage’s “Freeman Etudes” and Salvatore Sciarrino’s “Sei Capricci”. Some of the pieces on this session #5 will be performed on the violin by Thomas Meuwissen. + **How impossible is the “impossible”? The lasting curiosity of composers in exploring expression through music continues the legacy of creating pieces that are fresh, “new” and challenging not only for listening, but also to artistry of playing. Subsequently, performers continue to be challenged by these pieces demanding unconventional approaches. “Temporality of the Impossible” focuses on these challenges, and addresses two important and inseparable parts of music and performance: the tangible and the abstract. While the former investigates challenges of the extended violin techniques and the notation, the latter investigates the shaping of sensibility for understanding the music. While questioning what is this “impossible” and how do we overcome it by finding remedies for technical “unplayability”, the aim of this research is to simultaneously seek out ways for reshaping the understanding for the “new” aesthetics and expressivity, and whether and how we grow into appreciating this “unconventional”.** In the season 2017/2018 “Temporality of the Impossible: Performance+Talk Sessions” will primarily explore aesthetics of sound, from bare audibility to various degrees of pressure/scratch and everything in between, music of various "complexities" as well as music for prepared violin/bow. + Looking forward to seeing your ears!
