Toelichting:
Program note (English): Sinfonia concertante (No. 2) was written for a series of concerts around the School of Mannheim. Consequently, the spirit of Mannheim was to a large extent present during the creative process. However, there was no question of imitating a style or a particular form or instrumentation. It was rather the 'memory' of Mannheim that served as a source of inspiration, not as a model. This resulted in a work with a compact though never rigid structure, conceived for a rather classical orchestral formation in permanent interaction with two brilliant solo parts. In short, a composition within deliberately chosen limits of time, expression and style, as a remembrance of a movement in music history still not fully valued. The thematic material used throughout the work is clear and immediately recognisable. Almost twelve-tone at times, it never renounces its purely musical essence to satisfy technical demands. It also gives unity to the composition by its frequent reappearance at different
levels and layers of the orchestra and, of course, in the solo parts. Besides the numerous solistic passages emerging from the orchestral mass at all times, an extra concertante element is added in the slow movement of the Sinfonia. Here, an obligato of the first clarinet almost matches the two solo instruments in importance, all three playing against a transparent background provided by the string section alone. - CARLOS MICHÁNS
