Jagden und Formen

Hunt and Shape

Anamnesis

The remembering of things from a supposed previous existence.

**

This is astonishing music. The above term was used by Rihm in a conversation with Josef Häusler, translated by Stewart Spencer:

"The routes that I followed, the layers of film, the depths of field are extremely complex and, as far as I'm concerned, can no longer be untangled. Forgetting a process and putting it behind one is part of the process itself. Amamnesis produces no neat and tidy solutions. The processes that led to this piece lasted years and are like climactic zones in my memory, but I can longer say where one cloud converged on the next one. But anyone who sets out to find an answer to this question and who does so, moreover, with the passion of a true researcher will discover all the answers."
