Precept and Deviation

for violin, bassoon and horn
composed 1987; duration 8 minutes
world premiere Danish Broadcasting Corporation 1988
Staffan Rejle – violin; Henning Hansen – horn; Jens Tofte-Hansen – bassoon

The piece consist of a recurring motto and a number of episodes – not unlike the classical rondo. The episodes acts as distractions to the intentions of the motto, and each episode is quite different from the preceding one. In this way an inner tension is build, as the piece tries different possibilities for development, yet apparently never quite decides which route to take.
