Program note
In English
- In Liquid... (2003)
- Violin and piano
- The title In Liquid... refers specifically to a liquid perception of time. Repetitions, sequences, and patterns evolve slowly, shifting between one another. The displacement of tempo – whether through gradual acceleration or by freezing into a nearly static state – evokes a sense of long-lost times that live on in our memory and merge with our presence in the here and now.
- In Liquid... was written for Christine Pryn and Joachim Olsson.
- The work unfolds in four main sections:
- Andante semplice. Allegretto. Allegro. Vivace
- Allegro. Meno allegro
- Scherzo: Allegro molto e con brio. Andante. Moderato
- Lamento: Largo dolente. Andante cantabile e molto semplice
- Martin Lohse 2003
In Danish
- In Liquid... (2003)
- Violin og klaver
- Titlen In Liquid... henviser især til den flydende fornemmelse af tid. Gentagelser, sekvenser og mønstre ændres langsomt eller flettes ind og ud imellem hinanden. Tempoer forskydes – bliver hurtigere og hurtigere eller fryser fast i en nærmest statisk tidsfornemmelse – måske en fornemmelse af en svunden tid, som lever i vores erindring, og som blander sig med vores tilstedeværelse her og nu.
- In Liquid... er skrevet til Christine Pryn og Joachim Olsson.
- Værket udfolder sig i fire hoveddele:
- Andante semplice. Allegretto. Allegro. Vivace
- Allegro. Meno allegro
- Scherzo: Allegro molto e con brio. Andante. Moderato
- Lamento: Largo dolente. Andante cantabile e meget enkelt
- Martin Lohse 2003

... I don’t recall previously hearing any music by the Hans Abrahamsen-student Martin Lohse (b.1971) – painter and poet as well as composer – but I shall certainly be keeping my ears open from now on, since his 16-minute In Liquid... is unassertively lovely...
... Lohse knows how to caress the ear and stimulate the mind at the same time: In Liquid … is all the more touching for the understatement of its emotional burden. ...

Mostly modern and contemporary Danish works for accordion and orchestra. No oompah here, mostly gentle and lyrical. Nice!

... In Liquid, another commission by Mogensen, is radically different. Martin Lohse's work is almost a study in slow motion. Lohse draws out every single note both from the ensemble and the soloist. The sensation is similar to trying to run underwater. And the enforced slowness of the composition makes the listener pay closer attention to the music as it passes by. An effective work, and one that completely removes the accordion from its popular roots. ...
