WAM

Description

Michael Finnissy presents WAM for flute, bass clarinet, and piano.

WAM is an investigation of Mozart – it uses hundreds of slightly altered fragments of, or parodies of, his music – and, instead of assembling them as he might if he were composing, allows them to float by rather as he might if he were daydreaming. Finnissy is making a point about the way we listen to music two hundred years after its composition – usually without a sense of the adventure of putting it together from scratch.

Duration: 5′. For advanced players.
