NOTE

NOTE

The letter ‘D’ has common roots with the letters ‘dal’ and ‘dalet’ in the arabic and jewish alphabet. The proto-sinaitic character ‘dag’ from 1500 b.c. means ‘fish’.

In the Greek and Latin language the syllables ‘di/diplo’ and ‘duo’ indicate a two-sided property: my work is a duo for violin and viola.

Bogstavet ‘D’ har fællesrødder med tegnene ‘dal’ og ‘dalet’ i det arabiske og jødiske alfabet. Det protosinaitiske tegn ‘dag’ (o.1500 år f.v.t.) har betydningen ‘fisk’.

På græsk og latin betegner stavelserne ‘di/diplo’ og ‘duo’ en tosidet egenskab: mit værk ‘D’ er en ‘duo’.

In ‘D’ I have set two stochastic patterns of movement against each other: a Brownian movement contra a Gaussian distribution. Both use the frequency domain but I use the twelve (gr. ‘Dodeka’) step division (gr. ‘Daiesthai’) as well. The fish in its element moves continually.

‘Sul D’ indicates that the string-player should play on the D-string, the frequency of which is 293 Herz - a little below the logarithmic mean of the human ear.

First performance: July 26.1986 by Dan Hardt and GertInge Andersson.

I ‘D’ har jeg modstillet to stochaistiske bevægelsesmønstre: såkaldte ‘Brownske bevægelser’og Gauss-fordelinger, og over for disse, der benytter en kontinuert udtydning af det hør bare frekvensområde, stiller jeg en diskontinuert (digital) inddeling (gr, ‘Daiesthai’) i 12 toner (gr. ‘Dodeka’).

Fisken bevæger sig kontinuert i sit element.

‘Sul D’ betyder i musikalsk sprogbrug, at der spiller på D strengen: frekvensen for denne er 293 Herz, og den ligger lidt under det logaritmiske midterpunkt for vort høreområde.
