La Chûte d'IcareBrian FERNEYHOUGH
La Chûte d'Icare is on the one hand the first of a series of works for soloists and chamber ensemble, and on the other, a resumption of the surface preoccupations of Carceri d'Invenzione III, which also features a clarinet. The title refers to Breughel's painting in which, as Auden remarked in one of his most memorable poems, the generative factor, the ostensible `motivation´ is almost incidental: despite its (the opening clarinet solo's) dramatic character, the other parts evolve almost as if their `raison d'être´ had never existed.
