Informationen
The circulating thoughts about the currently rampant corona pandemic have led to the present piece. Emotions such as sadness, anger, helplessness and fear I have processed in it. The piece begins with the sequence of notes f-a-e-dis (viola) and ends in the same sequence of notes (oboe). In bar 14, these notes are «mixed up» (oboe): e-dis-f-a - which corresponds to my current state of mind. A musical psychogram?

Feeling is everything;
Name is sound and smoke,
fogging the sky.
(Goethe, Faust) Roger Faedi
