Music takes on a life of its own in the moment of writing, believes J\u00f6rg Widmann. It assumes its own form, becoming a living being that forges its own path. As such, it remains a fragment, because it is not what he, the writer, had intended.<\/p>\n
For Widmann, the image that best describes this progression is a maze. Today, this has become the theme that runs through his life\u2019s work, one that he has explored musically over the course of six distinct pieces. In the maze, one gets lost and bumps into things. There are moments “where it doesn\u2019t go any further. And that is something that I often experience as problematic and very painful in composing. As happy as composing is.”<\/em> Increasingly, he is led out of the maze of composing into which he has been drawn by his other role of clarinettist (for many years considered one of the world\u2019s best) by his activities as a conductor.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
