Leonardo's mirror I : for clarinet, 1985 / David Rowland

Toelichting:
Program note (English): Leonardo's Mirror I, for solo clarinet was written in 1985 for Walter Hekster and first performed in the Vestzak Theatre in Enschede. The Leonardo in the title is Leonardo da Pisa, an Italian mathematician, born in the 13th century, who was the first person to express its classical proportions of the Golden Section in concrete numbers. I have used two series of numbers proposed by Leonardo da Pisa to control not only its structure of the music but also the internal relationships of pitch, rhythm, phrase lengths, etc. Since composing Leonardo's Mirror I, I have also written Leonardo's Mirror II for flute, clarinet and alto-saxophone and Leonardo's Mirror III which is an Octet for flute, clarinet, altosaxophone, violin, viola, cello, piano and percussion. Each of the 3 compositions is a re-working of the ideas first used in Leonardo's Mirror I with ensembles whose increasingly larger instrumental size is also determined by Leonardo's mathematical series. - DAVID ROWLAND
