Seepferdchen und Flugfische

The piece is composed for speaking clarinetist and was created for the call of Szilárd Benes’s Das Rucksack-Project in 2024. It can be regarded as an instrumental transcription of Hugo Ball’s dadaist poem (1916) entitled the same. The phases are divided between the instrumental and vocal line. Both should be interpreted by the clarinetist, creating a kind-of self-dialog.

It is dedicated to and premiered by Szilárd Benes.
