Additional info/contents	Battlestar ist eine aufregende Raumfahrt-Fantasie. Die Darstellung der Gewichtslosigkeit ist besonders interessant. Dazu ersetzt der Komponist Die Tonika des Akkords durch eine Sekunde, so wird C-E-G zu D-E-G! Somit ist das Fundament verschwunden und die Akkorde schweben... Battlestar hört auf wie es angefangen hat, nähmlich wie das Ende eines Films! Battlestar is an exciting space fantasy. Very inventive is the depiction of weightlessness. On many occasions, the composer replaces the tonic (keynote) of the chord by the second, so C-E-G becomes D-E-G! The foundation disappears and the chords float... Battlestar ends the same way it started, as if it were the end credits of a movie! Battlestar est une fantaisie aérospatiale dynamique. L'évocation de l'apesanteur est très originale: le compositeur remplace régulièrement la tonique de l'accord par la seconde, donc Do-Mi-Sol devient Ré-Mi-Sol! Ainsi le fondement a disparu et les accords planent... Battlestar se termine comme le début, tel le générique final d'un film. Battlestar is een enerverende ruimte-vaartfantasie. Zeer inventief is de uitbeelding van de gewichtsloosheid. De componist vervangt hiertoe veelvuldig de tonica (grand) van het akkoord door de sekunde, dus C-E-G wordt D-E-G! Het fundament is daardoor verdwenen, de akkoorden zweven... Battlestar eindigt zoals het begon, als ware het de afkondiging van een film!
