Programme notes *: When rehearsals for the premiere of this piece began, something strange happened. Suddenly some of the musicians disappeared without a trace, as if they had been absorbed by the music. The other musicians and the conductor were shocked and didn't know what to do. A search operation was launched, but the missing musicians were not found. They were simply swallowed up by the earth. The orchestra was in a state of excitement and there was much wild speculation about what might have happened. Some believed that the musicians had been kidnapped by monsters summoned by the music. Others thought they had traveled to another dimension. Despite the eerie events, the performance of "Monsters" was not canceled. The remaining musicians played the piece with a mixture of fear and excitement. The audience was enthusiastic and applauded loudly. But the missing musicians were never found, and their fate remains a mystery to this day. Sometimes when the orchestra plays "Monsters," the musicians report strange noises and shadows moving behind them. But they keep playing because despite the scary events, they love the music and can't resist playing it.
