Furientanz

2008

2 pianos

A quite dramatic piece for 2 pianists. Written for the duo Post and Mulder. The title refers to one of the ballet-scenes from Mr. Gluck’s opera ‘Orfeo & Euridice’. 

As the soft “Round dance of the blessed spirits” already has been occupied by the German composer Helmut Lachenmann, I decided to compose the “Dance of the furies”, our times need it… Post & Mulder will perform the piece as soon as Post has got her baby.
