Péter Eötvös: Triangel

Concerto for percussion and orchestra

»Musical action play for a creative percussionist and 27 instruments.«

It seems to me that solo percussionists have their own little universe: they have instruments they prefer special playing techniques that differentiate them from other percussionists. Triangel is composed in a way that space is provided for these individual creative forces. The ensemble, which is divided into four groups, reacts partly in a fixed manner, partly spontaneously to the music coming from the soloist. This piece rediscovers the improvised cadence techniques, which were an inherent part of concertos about 100 years ago.
Peter Eötvös (1999)

Peter Eötvös is one of the best known interpreters of 2O/21st century music. As a composer, conductor and teacher he combines all three functions in one very high-profile significant career. Born in Transylvania in 1944, he has long been considered one of the most significant and influential personalities on the music scene as both an internationally recognized conductor and a composer of successful operas, orchestral works and concertos, written for wellknown artists from all over the world. His music is featured frequently in the programmes of orchestras, contemporary music ensembles and festivals worldwide, and as composer and conductor he has led projects focusing on his work in cities across the globe. He is regularly reinvited as guest conductor by the most important orchestras and opera houses.
Eötvös attaches great importance to passing on his extensive knowledge and experience to others. He taught at the music college in Cologne and Karlsruhe and gives regular masterclasses and seminars throughout the world. He established his »International Eötvös Institute« in 1991 and the »Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation« in 2004 in Budapest for young composers and conductors. He lives and works in Budapest, Hungary.
