A Walk To Beethoven

This work for orchestra was commissioned by Arktisk Filharmoni and was premiered at the Stormen Cultural Centre in Bodø in February 2020. The composer writes "'A Walk to Beethoven' is a walk to Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7. It is the main theme of the second movement that you can discern in my piece. I chose that theme partly because I just love it, partly because it has within itself a wandering pace. The work consists of 14 small parts (played without breaks). I do not regard it as 14 variations: it is rather 14 different versions, like 14 flowers grown from the same musical seed. Or maybe: like 14 different paths, all leading to Beethoven."
