The
Shoa never was a theme in
the works of Ursula
Mamlok - with the
exception of Ruckblick
for saxophone and piano
which she wrote in 2002
on commission of the
Temple University in
memory of Kristallnacht.
The contrast between slow
and fast movements is
much moreelaborate than
in her other works from
that period, with the
fast movements appearing
somewhat driven while the
piano part for a
fewmoments adopts an
otherwise unknown
severity. Near the end of
the third movement,
cantabile and fleeting
gestures are suddenly
pushed toward each other.
The first fast movement
arises from the
destruction of attempted
cantability. The Elegy
(2nd movement) dies away
with a four-fold reminder
of its initial motif, the
last attempt remaining
fragmentary. The fourth
movement Lament concludes
with a figure that
returns to its
beginning.
