Robert Wittinger: Tendenze (1970)

Robert Wittinger (*1945): Tendenze, per tre suonatori, (1970). Siegfried Palm, violoncello Aloys Kontarsky, pianoforte Christoph Caskel, percussioni. Cover image: painting by Ted Godwin. “tendenze per tre suonatori“ op. 14, was written at the suggestion of Christoph Caskel, Aloys Kontarsky and Siegfried Palm at the 1970 Darmstadt Holiday Course. Its four parts contain the greatest possible variety of time indications: series of demisemiquaver runs without barlines but with accents, which are intended to be played as fast as possible, various time signatures, passages timed by the second - especially pauses and held sounds -, alternating times and quasi-times in which the events take place in a definite order but only at approximate points in time. These various forms of time are not developed out of one another but are balanced against one another.
