Notes
| Programme notes |
”Syntax” was commissioned by the clarinetist Tone Hagerup, and was premiered at her debut concert in Oslo 1988. The title reflects more the composition process itself, than the character of the piece. Bjørn Kruse says: "I was looking for an inner consistency or narrativity, rather than a larger dramaturgical model. I have always been fascinated by improvisation, both as such and as the foundation for the creative process. Thus, im my music, more often than not, one will find the search for a balance between spontaneous events and a planned strategy."
