Liebestraum (2006)
cl, vn, vc, pno
Liebestraum was written for the ensemble Nordlys and is a recomposition of Franz Liszt’s famous piano work. The composition is saturated with rhythmic displacements – for example, the original 6/8 accompaniment is transformed into 5/8, while an additional violin voice is introduced in 4/8.
While the original is traditionally performed with significant rubato and fluid displacements between melody and accompaniment, this recomposition formalizes those gestures through polyrhythmic layers. This creates a paradox for the performers: to achieve the characteristic feeling of a romantic “old world” rubato, the ensemble must play with extreme rhythmic precision and restraint.

Liebestraum er skrevet til ensemblet Nordlys og er en genkomponering af Liszts berømte klaverstykke. Værket er gennemsyret af rytmiske forskydninger – eksempelvis ændres akkompagnementets oprindelige 6/8-fornemmelse til 5/8, mens en ekstra violinstemme er skrevet i 4/8.
Hvor originalen normalt spilles med en del rubato og små forskydninger mellem melodi og akkompagnement, er denne fornemmelse i genkomponeringen udbygget gennem flere samtidige tempolag. Dette skaber et paradoks, hvor musikerne må spille væsentligt strammere og mere præcist end normalt for at fremkalde den rette følelse af romantisk forskydning og bevægelse.
