Gunter Waldek: „mixed double“ für Violoncello und Klavier (1990)

Rudolf Jungwirth (1955) completed his music studies in Vienna. He is a teacher of counterpoint and improvisation at Bruckner University in Linz. The work fragmente was created by applying new layers onto a piano piece from the year 2004. Fragile thoughts change with strong outbreaks and not rare lead to silence. So in three short movements from breaks, cracks and different density a statement is formed, often contradicted like our thinking.
Mozart-Reminiscences is a just created cycle dedicated to the Mozart’s anniversary - 2006. Number 2 refers to Mozart’s Andante from the piano sonata KV 309. Beside two short quotations the piece is fed by the material of this movement. Therewith the music searches to find its own way – from fragile mimics through strong dialogs to low tiding.

Gunter Waldek (1953) studied at Mozarteum, Slzburg with Prof. Helmut Eder. He is Professor of composition at Bruckner University in Linz.
mixed double for violoncello and piano takes its title and basic idea from sports: the two players meet each other with trained routines and nevertheless have to react to the action of the other player. The excitement of the piece is a result from the frequent changes of co-ordination and opposition.

Gerald Resch (1975) studied composition in Vienna with Michael Jarell and York Höller. He is teaching musical analysis at Bruckner University in Linz.
Splitter – Gesten – Nebel – Schleifen consists of four pieces which are engaged in patterns of moving and their overlapping. Thereby instrumental combinations are used from solo to quartet. The pieces are melting to a new organism whose single parts are reflecting reciprocally.

Helmut Schmidinger (1969) studied in Salzburg with Prof. Gerhard Wimberger and Gerd Kühr. Presently he is “composer in residence” at Vienna Concert Verein.
…was uns anrührt, dich und mich… refers to seven love poems of Rainer Maria Rilke, which reveal the loneliness and being next to each other, getting again strange and being in harmony. The musical transformation first of all does not take place through the illustration of emotional substance, but has its equivalent in the change of roles between the instruments.
