Felix Baumann
aussprechen (2002)
Trio

Instrumentation: for recorder, viola da gamba and harpsichord

'aussprechen' has something installative about it: in apparently endlessly excessive lengths almost nothing happens, which causes inflexibility to appear with quiet humour.

Urs Peter Schneider
Robert Walser Trilogie III,1: Die Liebe in den leichten Worten (2003)
Two Albumleaves

Instrumentation: for fidel and gamba (or two slightly differeing instruments)

A last cycle, which mirrors the first in many ways, based closely on restructured texts by the poet. "Die Liebe in den leichten Worten" continues semantic distraction in unsophisticated seconds, deceptive and beautiful; "Kanal" is a conceptual composition, creating artificial folklore, and sentences of a piece of prosa, quasi idyllic continuation (the composer himself has created one version); "Das leichte End in Bern" is to be scored in a monochrome fashion with six identical instruments. It tells of disappearance into anonymity, of poltergeists and much more; it is dedicated to the performer Eva Fuhrer.

Duration: 5' 00"
