Nausea (lat., seasickness, disgust) – Nenia (greek/lat., folksong, elegy, magical song): Two similar sounding terms, which offer, based on their ambiguity, lots of space to musical connotations. These subtitles of the two movements refer to a background idea of the piece – to bring musical gestures of anger on the one, mourning and desperation on the other hand together as close as possible. In both cases there are drudgingly dragged blocks of sound, circulating crumbles of motives, melodic fragments sometimes even reduced to single notes…. Nevertheless, in the end we can still hear an expanded relict of a drifty chant. Benjamin Schweitzer
