Johann Sebastian Bach

Fantaise chromatique

Facsimile for double bass. Klaus is for a double bass soloist, who is also a vocalist. This works alludes to the deceased composer Klaus Hashagen (1924-1998), to whom the title refers to. Reminescences of musical material coming from the score Suite for oboe and harpsichord (Sirius-Edition, 1957) by the master, are the basis of this work. However, other 3 works are evoked, precisely in the order of appearance : Gesten for recorders and tape (Edition Moeck, 1966); ...alla scarlati..., radiophonic study for synthesizer and computer (tape, 1982); Suono del telajo, radiophonic work probably lost, and whose date of composition is unknown.
