PATA KANDINSKY
Suite in 6 movements for 12-piece orchestra.
The starting point for Norbert Stein’s orchestral work, rich in imagery, is this time the creative ideas of the painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), which the co-founder of the “Blauer Reiter” group and later Bauhaus master made the basis of his abstract art. Impulses for Stein’s own sound figures, spaces, melodies, bundled in a flow of rhythms, harmonies and the magnetic lines of the patamelodies.
