To play with expectations

Blink Blink plays, as most of my pieces, with expectations. I wanted Blink Blink to be optimistic and short and give it an impression of being longer without being too short.

Therefore I was delighted Zsolt Nagy picked up the spirit of the music so well and even suggested the trombone players to stand up at a particular point to underline the effect.

You can see and hear it, to decide for yourself if I succeeded achieving my goals by watching the video of the first performance in Ostrava.

Ostrava 05 Epilogue

Anyone who thinks Ostrava Days 2005 was only hard work and no fun,

OR

anyone who thinks that new music buffs lack humor, reconsider

AND

please take a look of the encore of Zs Ensemble after one of their concerts.

See the Encore!
