Megjegyzések, további info
"The saxophone has been very close to me since I was a child because it sounds like I’m singing myself. I’ve heard a lot from Paul Desmond, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz and Sonny Rollins … but that was all jazz and improvisation, and I compose in a different style, I write down every note. While composing, I always made sure to find the individual voice that is characteristic of this work and this instrument. Saxophones often appear in my orchestral works, I’ve also written a saxophone quartet, but FOCUS is the first time I’ve treated the saxophone as a solo instrument. The idea for FOCUS comes from the world of film cameras. Just as the camera is often “focused” on someone or something in films, my piece also has a “background” (the orchestra), and a “Premier Plan” (a soloist) and my “sound camera” slowly opens up in slow motion one or the other focused." (Péter Eötvös)
