Refleksjoner i mørket
Reflekskledde veiarbeidere inspirerte Holly Harrison da Sydney stengte ned under pandemien. Eivind Aadland dirigerer musikk av Harrison, Ludwig van Beethoven og Frédéric Chopin, med Yeol Eum Son som solist i Chopins Pianokonsert nr. 2.

Australske Holly Harrison (f. 1988) lot seg inspirere av selvlysende veiarbeidere da hun skrev orkesterverket Hi-Vis. Tittelen er en forkortelse for high-visibility clothing, på norsk refleksklær. Under nedstengningen i 2020 pågikk det omfattende veiarbeid på kvelds- og nattestid utenfor hjemmet hennes i Sydney. Harrison syntes all boringen, pipingen og blinkingen var en oppkvikkende påminnelse om at det fantes mennesker der ute. Eivind Aadland dirigerte urfremførelsen med Tasmania Symfoniorkester våren 2022.

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) hadde akkurat fylt 20 år da han urfremførte sin Pianokonsert nr. 2 i hjembyen Warszawa i mars 1830. Han skrev den drømmeaktige andresatsen året før, heftig avstandsforelsket i en jevnaldrende sopran. Pianoet var med i all musikken Chopin skrev, og pianokonsertene var hans eneste orkesterverk – en slags nødvendighet for slå gjennom som pianokomponist. Pianokonserten stod på Chopins første konsertprogram da han kom til Paris i 1832, der han snart ble utropt til sin tids store nyskaper ved klaveret.

Høsten 1806 besøkte Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) greven Franz von Oppersdorff på slottet hans, som i dag ligger helt sør i Polen. Beethoven kom rett fra en heftig krangel med en annen adelsmann som lenge hadde vært hans venn og velgjører. Greven hadde sitt eget orkester som ønsket komponisten velkommen med å spille hans andre symfoni. Snart bestilte greven en ny symfoni i samme ånd som skulle bli Beethovens Symfoni nr. 4. Med sin Haydn-aktige munterhet utgjør de tydelige kontraster til hans tredje og femte symfoni.

Reflections in the dark
Reflective-clad road workers inspired Holly Harrison as Sydney shut down during the pandemic. Eivind Aadland conducts music by Harrison, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Frédéric Chopin, with Yeol Eum Son as the soloist in Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Australian Holly Harrison (b. 1988) was inspired by luminescent road workers when she wrote the orchestral piece Hi-Vis. The title is an abbreviation for high-visibility clothing. During the 2020 shutdown, extensive evening and nighttime roadworks occurred outside her home in Sydney. Harrison found all the drilling, beeping, and flashing a refreshing reminder that people were out there. Eivind Aadland conducted the first performance with the Tasmania Symphony Orchestra in the spring of 2022.

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) had just turned 20 when he premiered his Piano Concerto No. 2 in his hometown of Warsaw in March 1830. He wrote the dreamlike second movement the year before, passionately in love from a distance with a soprano of the same age. All the music Chopin wrote includes the piano, and the piano concertos were his only orchestral works – a kind of necessity to succeed as a piano composer. The piano concerto was on Chopin's first concert program when he arrived in Paris in 1832, where he was soon proclaimed the great innovator of his time at the piano.

In the autumn of 1806, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) visited Count Franz von Oppersdorff at his castle today in the very south of Poland. Beethoven was coming straight from a heated argument with another nobleman who had long been his friend and benefactor. The count had his own orchestra, which welcomed the composer by playing his second symphony. Soon the count commissioned a new symphony in the same spirit, which was to become Beethoven's Symphony No. 4. With their Haydn-like gaiety, they form clear contrasts to his third and fifth symphonies.
