The pianist also needs a glass bottle and a mobile phone. In addition
to normal keyboard playing, the pianist will also play clusters,
glissandos and rubbings on the strings, with or without an implement,
and also knock the metal bar and the wooden right edge of the
instrument. According to the score, knocking the metal bar should be
done with the bone of the finger joint, but this can also be done with
a mallet. |

Notes
| Programme notes |
The title Fog, Stream and Fleeting Objects refers to two possible
visual images. In the first image, a viewer is standing at the bank of
a foggy river. He observes the different objects floating and moving
on the surface of the river, but they are soon fleeting away because
of the stream. In the second image, a viewer is at the river in a boat
or a ship. He observes the landscapes (objects) of the banks, but soon
after the observation they will disappear and change, as the boat is
moving ahead.
The music of the work, in my opinion, has much in common with the
title and the above-mentioned images. You can hear “foggy” sound in
the piece in the beginning, in the end and also slightly in the
middle. There are clearly profiled musical objects in the piece as
well, but they are usually changing fairly quickly, as the “stream” of
the music drives the situation elsewhere. In the middle of the piece,
at the latest, it may have become clear that the stream of this music
has also its frenetic sides.
