Composer Peter Martin created a charming piece of music, but the question is, does it all end well? Use your imagination and creativity in "Manic Metronome"!

Programme notes *: Imagine you are sitting in your music room and diligently practicing your instrument. The metronome ticks patiently to help you keep time. But suddenly the metronome seems to develop a life of its own and starts to go completely crazy! “Manic Metronome” by Peter Martin captures exactly this scenario. The composition begins with a regular metronome ticking, but soon the tempo increases, the rhythms become more complex and the metronome seems to get out of control. The music gets faster, wilder and more chaotic until it finally culminates in a furious finale. The orchestra's musicians now have to assert themselves against the crazy metronome in order not to be driven crazy themselves. They play with utmost precision and virtuosity to master the racing rhythms and unexpected changes of tempo. The audience can't help but tap their feet and laugh as they witness the metronome lose control. "Manic Metronome" is a humorous and entertaining composition that expresses the joy and challenge of music. The music is full of energy and joy, and the musicians and audience alike have fun following the crazy metronome. In the end, only one question remains: Who actually went crazy here - the metronome or the musicians? Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Information: Gobelin Music
