Programme Note It is pain
flowing down slowly on a
white wall - the sentence
- the title - was given
to me by a Hungarian
woman in August 2008. She
put a note with the
sentence in my hand after
a festival and told me
that my music reminded
her of the sentence,
written by a Hungarian
poet. It is music full of
slow motion - full of
sorrow - full of tangos
with no dancers. Maybe I
imagined the tears of an
accordion player flowing
down slowly on the bellow
ofthe instrument. Bent
Sorensen.
