Description for the composition IRINI by Ulrike Haage. The composition IRINI is dedicated to Fréderic Mompou
and young pianists of both genders. IRINI is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides to the rhythm of the Morse code with its meaning “Peace”, a timbre and an initial unanticipated slow tempo. At this point, the code is not rhythmically portrayed and identifiable but is virtually transformed into slow motion, announced and
so to speak, received as a signal. Part 2 presents the code as a rhythm and prompts the right as well as the left hand to a rapid response. The message “peace” is intended to be heard again. Part 3 is the coda in which the code shifts back to its transmitting station. The MP3 file is merely a Sibelius file and only serves for clarity during reading of the score. On a real piano, the player is provided much more freedom in the interpretation and the temporal as well as dynamic leeway. By the way, I also wrote a version for four-handed piano but obviously didn't submit it along with this contribution :-) Yet, when I think back on Diabelli, the the four-handed etude, above all, left a strong impression upon me. I wish you much enjoyment and fun with the music and am looking forward to hearing from you. Ulrike Haage
