The work was composed for the Haydn Chamber Ensemble commissioned by the Haydnfestspiele Eisenstadt (Kammermusikzyklus 2015). Supported by the Österreichisches Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur. Gerald Resch comments on “Sostenuto” as follows: “The Haydn Chamber Ensemble approached me with their request for a piano trio referring to the 'romantic' aspect of Joseph Haydn. His D-major Piano Trio, Hob.XV/24 is a wonderful example of how Haydn opened a door onto a new era during the last decade of his productivity. The initial impulse for 'Sostenuto' was my confrontation with Haydn's D-major Piano Trio.”.

The Sonata is one of Erkin's works which the casual listener may fail to attribute to a particular geography at a first hearing. He will however become absorbed by a unique sense of identity, surprising harmonies and rhythms which integrate with such sincerity and authenticity in the flowof the music. At a more attentive hearing, one can discover features of ancient Anatolian music which Erkin always transforms with extraordinary inspiration, enfolding audiences unfamiliar with this culture in a music which is often profoundly spiritual with an admirably woven polyphonic texture in which not one bar seems superfluous or out of place.The first movement Allegro is woven from two contrasting themes. The first is a vigorous progression in the middle register with contrapuntal elements quasi as counterpoint. A luminous second theme evoking folk tunes connects back to the first theme and the movement ends in a brisk tone.In the second movement Adagio molto sostenuto a profound, introspective first theme is developed in variations of exquisite lyricism. The imposing middle section which forms a rondo suggests latent unrest.Imbued with energy and determination, the final Allegro consists of abstracted elements of Anatolian folk music bearing the creative stamp of Erkin. The movement ends with an impressive crescendo.

Der Titel Winterreise meint unsere aktuelle menschliche Situation. Die Komposition ist somit autobiographisch; daruber hinaus bezieht sie sich im materialen Vorfeld einerseits auf Schuberts Winterreise bzw. auf meine Bruchstucke zur Winterreise fur Klavier (entstanden als Decollage der Schubertlieder ,,Gute Nacht, ,,Einsamkeit, ,,Der greise Kopf, ,,Die Krahe, ,,Im Dorfe, ,,Der Wegweiser, ,,Der Leiermann), andererseits auf 7 Gedichte Trakls, in denen ich eine innere Verwandtschaft zur Winterreise empfinde.Die Komposition ist einsatzig. Sie gliedert sich in 7 Stationen, die in gewisser Hinsicht mit den 7 Trakl-Gedichten korrespondieren: I Presto (,Melancholie')II Sostenuto (,De profundis')III Presto desolato (,Trompeten')IV Sostenuto (,An die Schwester')V Adagio (,Nachts')VI Presto quasi maniaco ... Presto infocato (Nachtwandlung') VII Sostenuto ... Canto animato (,Nachtergebung').Die 7 Stationen folgen ,attacca' aufeinander.Die 5 Instrumente des Streichquintetts (wie in Schuberts Quintett mit 2 Violoncelli) sind weniger ,solistisch' als ,symphonisch' verstanden, quasi als ein ,orchestraler' Organismus mit verschiedenen Registern.(Friedhelm Dohl)CD:Auryn Quartett, Boris Pergamenschikow (2nd violoncello) CD Dreyer-Gaido 21013 Bibliography:Nonnenmann, Rainer: ,,Ach, meine Sonnen seid ihr nicht. ,,Winterreise.

The first movement is characterized by the interplay between a delicate, almost fragile theme and its extremely harsh development. The second is melodic and the third tonally repetitive. The finale almost seems to seek the introductory theme, but quickly fades.

Thro ugh Green Glass is made up of four contrasting movements osasta (Allegro intenso-Pesante-Sostenuto -Energico), which are played attacca. The sharp cuts at the movement divider transfer the listener suddenly to a new atmosphere and sound texture. Only the final movement, Energico, grows organically into its own being, directly from the tranquil Sostenuto movement. Reoccuring rhythm ostinato 13/8 (8/8 + 5/8) is embedded in the genes of all movements. After the climax of the finale, a kind of synthesis is apparent: the heavy chords of Pesante movement make a reappearance; the final bars of the work are indeed a citation from the beginning of the work. Though the guitar is not Mikko Heinio's own instrument, this work was born with a guitar on the composer's lap. This lends to the texture being idiomatic, very natural to the guitar, not letting the performer get off easy, though. The fast changes in texture, multiple playing techniques and snappy rhythmic drive with fast arpeggios call for iron-handed guitarist. The title of the work was given after the work was finished. In retrospect the composer says of the title: [the mental image is] green like the nature, fragile and clear as glass, as light filtered by certain frequences of chromium oxide.
