Description
This work by 17-year-old Fazil Say is from the early creative period of the Turkish composer. Supported by Aribert Reimann and David Levine, he composed the four pieces for the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin, and they were premiered during the celebrations in 1987. The first monodic piece already shows the oriental melody that became more pronounced later, whereas the other pieces surprise with novel tone colours, inside-piano effects and specific rhythmic features.
