Program note

In English

5 Momenti Mobile (2019)
Cello and piano
The first four movements are a recomposition of the solo accordion works Passing (2011 - 12) and Menuetto (2008 - 14), while the fifth movement is new. The work utilizes the "mobile" technique, where independent musical layers - each with distinct tempos and styles - are combined through a sequence of major thirds.
The first and third movements are characterized by quickly repeating notes, small motives, and fast patterns, creating a dense and energetic texture. In contrast, the second movement, Andante con dolore sostenuto, conveys a sense of tranquility. The fourth movement (Menuetto) and the fifth movement (Finale) conclude the work, as the whole unfolds in a unified form.
The work is dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen and the Lohse Quartet. It is also available in versions for accordion and piano quartet as well as accordion duo and piano trio.

In Danish

5 Momenti Mobile (2019)
Cello og klaver
De første fire satser er en omkomponering af værkerne Passing (2011 - 12) og Menuetto (2008 - 14) for solo akkordeon, mens den femte sats er ny. Værket benytter "mobile"-teknikken, hvor uafhængige musikalske lag med individuelle tempi og stilarter kombineres i en sekvens af store tertser.
1. og 3. sats er præget af hurtige tonerepetitioner, små motiver og hurtige mønstre, der skaber en tæt og energisk tekstur. Som kontrast heroverfor står 2. sats, Andante con dolore sostenuto, der formidler en følelse af ro. 4. sats (Menuetto) og 5. sats (Finale) afrunder værket, og det hele udfolder sig i en forenet form.
Værket er tilegnet Bjarke Mogensen og Lohse Quartet og findes også i versioner for akkordeon og klaverkvartet samt akkordeon-duo og klavertrio.

Expert reviews

American Record Guide Nov/Dec 2018

... It takes considerable willpower not to rewind to the beginning when it finishes...
... Like the rest of Lohse’s works on the album, it is a delight.

... Lohse has given this (work) the lovely title Moto Immoto (Motionless motion), an apt oxymoron that utterly encapsulates this short, heartfelt piece...
... it certainly affected this reviewer in those terms - and easily bears repeated listening. It is revealing that this ten-minute panel lasts not a moment too long.

Politiken, kultur

The mobiles are breathlessly intense as they alternate between mournful and optimistic with equal parts chain dance and black melancholy.
