Hommage à Charles Bukowski - Petra Szászí

by Eva Beneke - guitar

Earlier this spring, I had the chance to record this wild piece by young hungarian composer Petra Szaszi (*1997) at Wildsound Studios in Minneapolis, USA.

"Simple rondo form with a trick: the rondo theme is nothing but tuning. In the episodes, it reflects through various techniques to the guitar literature. For the last episode, we get to the point where all the strings reach “e”, or almost “e” that makes the piece entirely false. So it's “Slipping apart” just like Bukowski."
