Max E. KellerOù est le roi? (2010)
Instrumentation: for flute, violin, violoncello and organ
1747: King Friedrich II challenged J.S. Bach to create a 3-part fugue over his own fugue theme, which resulted in 'The Musical Offering'.
2010: The Schweizer Kammerensemble challenged five very different composers to work with the same fugue theme. I transformed it with a contemporary edge into a theme consisting of 2 x 12 different tones - in the sense of 12-tone music but with a slight irregularity. The relation to Bach is initially almost imperceptible, a connection can only be drawn from the rhythm and the fluctuation in colour of the noise-like string sounds. The theme undergoes the normal transformations until it finally emerges in quasi purity.

Ich wünsche mir ein ideologiefreies, reines Hören im Raum. Das ist bei Orgelmusik nicht ganz einfach."Es wird nichts erzählt, nicht von A nach B geführt und auch kein musikalischer Prozess abgewickelt. Nach anfänglicher Befreiung von Konventionen beobachte ich, winzig geworden, monströse Kleinklänge und höre in sie hinein. Ich stelle mir einen Spaziergang durch einen bekannt geglaubten Garten vor, der dem geduldigen (mikroskopischen) Wahrnehmen viel Ungeahntes offenbart." So verzichte ich weitgehend auf Kirchenpomp, Virtuosität und gepflegte Satztechnik, folge dafür oft den Spuren einstimmiger Verläufe.
