Toelichting:
Program note (English): 'Meden Agen' was engraved over the entrance to the temple of Apollo in Delphi and means 'nothing too much', urging visitors to the oracle to be economical with their expectations and requests. I used it to police my own penchant for exuberance and to concentrate on essentials. The composition in three movements follows a venerable tradition of sectioning a work in alterations of fast, slow and fast. Not to mention serious, introspective and joyful. The last movement has two different endings. The first glorifies the build up of a climax (Debussy's Isle Joyeuse may have something to do with it); the second takes an ironic view of climaxing, almost ridiculing its sheer childishness. I leave it to the pianist to chooise the appropriate course of action in each concert situation. - JAN VRIEND
