Cadenza (2012)
Quasi improvvisazione
Accordion solo

The score is in exact pitch, and the proposed registers can be changed according to the room and instrument.

Cadenza is dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen and consists of excerpts from the second and fourth movements of the accordion concerto In Liquid… (accordion concerto, second version) from 2008 – 10.

Repeating notes alternating between bellows shake and natural bellows, in a long descending sequence of chords, culminate in a profound A-minor chord that ebbs away, followed by three deep glissandos. In the aftermath comes a slow coda with two voices slowly moving away from each other.

Cadenza (2012)
Quasi improvvisazione
Akkordionsolo

Partituret er i klingende notation (exact pitch), og de noterede registre kan ændres efter rum og instrument.

Cadenza er tilegnet Bjarke Mogensen og består af uddrag fra anden og fjerde sats fra akkordionkoncerten In Liquid… fra 2008 – 10.

En lang faldende sekvens af akkorder med gentagne toner, skiftende mellem bellows shake og almindelig bælg, kulminerer i en gennemgribende a-mol akkord, der ebber ud efterfulgt af tre dybe glissandoer. I eftervirkningerne følger en langsom koda med to stemmer, der gradvist fjerner sig fra hinanden.

  • Mogensen Lohse: Mobile, Works for Solo Accordion
    (Alessandro Mugnoz - Accordions Worldwide April 2018)
    ... Fresh music, contemporary but not excessively "intellectual" and not at all hermetic, indeed sincere and communicative, often captivating, which show strong roots with the great Western "classical" tradition; a happy combination, just like in Scarlatti, of lightness and playfulness with passion and solemnity.
    ... Music that surely reconciles the audience with contemporary "cultured" music and that undoubtedly enrichs the specific repertoire for the accordion.

  • Lykkeligt match
    (Mikael Krarup - mitFyn.dk)
    Lykkeligt match
    10 års samarbejde mellem Bjarke Mogensen og den danske komponist Martin Lohse har resulteret i en fin udgivelse med Lohses på én gang minimalistiske, melodiøse musik, som overraskende nok er moderne kompositionsmusik fra dette århundrede. Nogle er omskrevne tidligere værker, andre nykomponerede til Bjarke Mogensen. Lyst og venligt, men også indadvendt og mørkt, hans sans for udnyttelse af instrumentets trods alt begrænsede muligheder ligger i de ofte sindrigt udtænkte rytmiske lag, der som et "perpetuum mobile" udvikler sig og overrasker. Bjarke Mogensens suveræne spil gør oplevelsen stor, og ved flere aflytninger øges glæden. Cyklus-titler som "Passing" og "Momentum" synes velegnede og udtrykker sigende musikkens væsen, sammen med små menuetter eller de seks præludier, som er mere end blot forspil til noget andet.

  • Politiken (11 Aug 2015)
    (Thomas Michelsen - Politiken, Kultur bagsiden)
    "This release will convert the skeptic to new classical music"
    "It may well be that you are not going to be religious, if you invest in this release from Gateway Music. On the other hand, there is some risk that you will be reversed and start listening to contemporary music."
