HODOS en pente – “In five steps” or "movement in fives" … symbolic of the course of life … of the cyclical nature of existence … of the momentum of the moment – musically expressed in the five dynamic sections of the piece, in a 5-beat time signature and in pentatonic series floating between atonality and tonality.
Wilhelm Kaiser-Lindemann's last work premiered on September 12, 2009, two months before his death. In a sense, a summary of his life, which was shaped by early childhood traumas from the war years. The images and horrors of that time, in his own words, “never let go of him and pursued him relentlessly” and music was the only viable path to inner healing for him. His great admiration for Bach's music is expressed in this work in the quotation of the (here transposed) tone sequence B-A-C-H, which is heard at various points and which finally fits in as a tritone in the empty C sharp fifth, the "vibration of Mother Earth". According to Kaiser-Lindemann, the tritone at this point symbolizes the no longer earthly as "the interval furthest removed from all the others". |

A musical-philosophical poem This piece of music is about the psy-chogram of a modern person who is affect-ed by the feeling of always experiencing the eternal return of the same thing in a hamster wheel. Despite narrowness and repetition, it also has its good points: relia-bility and predictability, safety and happy moments, but also the strength to stay in the hamster wheel . In return you receive reward for possession and power. Musical-ly, this is expressed with irregularly ac-cented but energetic eighth notes as a drive. The four-bar periodic appears symmetrical, but is broken asymmetrically in its 3-1 con-stellation, which later changes into a three-bar periodic. * a southern German folk dance with a quick tempo and changing beat pattern |
