Is it possible to long to a global, organic image, by a patient work of putting together fragments, splinters, modules, trying to "arrange every formal element so logically and purely that each is necessary in its place" (Paul Klee)? The work Brennend, for piano solo, was composed in this perspective.
I would like to recall - because I think it appropriate - a comment by the critic Gianfranco Zaccaro, on the occasion of the first broadcast of the work on Radiotre: "…(the composition) begins with a series of phonic violences that doesn't seem to be the consequence of determination, of positive certainty, but a way to seize the sound materials and to build on the deep furrow that it digs, as consequence of being treated with such violence. There is, therefore, in "Brennend", a certain dramatic logic that has the rare quality to appear clear to be listened to, without justification or supplementary explication".
The title "burning" has the meaning of a demanding memorandum ("là - a qualcosa che tocchi il calor bianco - si deve andare, pur se tra mille contraddizioni"), for the performer and the audience but above all for the author.
(Dario Maggi)
