  • Description

    Verkündigung ("Annunciation") is one of the earliest works in Peter Ablinger's catalogue, and a cornerstone for connoisseurs of his work. Composed in 1990, in Verkündigung the groundwork for his subsequent work is laid out. In exploring noise and densification, Ablinger thematises perception itself: raising awareness about listening and, through listening, about the listener.

    'My work on Verkündigung began when Marcus Weiss urged me to come up with an improvisation piece. Around that time, I happened upon Domenico Veneziano's painting Verkündigung and found my own musings reflected in that painting's stark opposition between symmetrical Renaissance architecture and the free "gestures" of the angel and the Virgin Mary. At some point, I began striving to dissolve this very opposition of architecture and gesture, aiming for a conception which could contain both elements at once, in every moment - and theoretically in every sound; where one might merge at any moment into the other, or where one may appear in the other's place.' Peter Ablinger
