Additional info/contents	Zwei Hauptelemente bilden die Grundlage dieses Werkes: ein rhythmisches Motiv (2/4 3/4 3/4 2/4 3/4) und eine Tonfolge (A,C,D,Es, F, As), die sich in der Mitte widerspiegelt. Diese Tonfolge wird durch das ganze Werk hindurch nie transponiert. Seit seiner Uraufführung 1982 durch den Schweden Roger Carlsson mit dem isländischen Symphonie-Orchester, ist das Werk weltweit beliebt geworden. Evelyn Glennie hat es sehr oft mit vielen der besten Orchestern aufgeführt, unter anderen mit dem Cleveland Orchestra, dem National Symphony Orchestra Washington, dem Cincinnati Orchestra, dem Royal Philharmonic und dem BBC Symphony Orchestra. The two main organizational elements that form the basis of this work are a rhythmic motive (which spans over the metres 2/4 3/4 3/4 2/4 3/4) and a tone row that mirrors around its middle (A, C, D, Eb, F, Ab). This tone row is never transposed throughout the work. Premiered in September 1982 by the Swede Roger Carlsson with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, this work has since then been performed widely. Evelyn Glennie has in particular performed the work frequently with many of the finest orchestras, a.o. with the Cleveland Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Washington, Cincinnati Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra and many others. Deux éléments principaux forment la base de cette oeuvre: un motif rythmique (2/4 3/4 3/4 2/4 3/4) et une suite de tons (La, Do, Ré, Mib, Fa, Lab) qui se reflète au centre. Cette suite n'est jamais transposée tout au long de l'oeuvre. Crée en septembre 1982 par le Suédois Roger Carlsson avec l'Orchestre Symphonqiue d'Islande, cette oeuvre est devenue très populaire. Evelyn Glennie en particulier l'a jouée à maintes reprises avec les meilleurs orchestres, entre autres avec le Cleveland Orchestra, le National Symphony Orchestra, Washington et Cincinnati, le Royal Philharmonic Orchestra et le BBC Symphony Orchestra.
