Who do you want to be

Om

«Who do you want to be» er bestilt av den tyske pianisten Susanne Kessel. Hun er kvinnen bak det megalomane prosjektet «250 piano pieces for Beethoven» – og mitt verk er et av de 250. 

Verkbeskrivelse til nettsida 250 piano pieces for Beethoven:

“Who do we remember and who do we forget? And why? I wanted to write a piece that referenced something for piano by Beethoven that I had a personal connection to, but at the same time a piece that wasn’t solely about Beethoven. I set out to write a piece that looked at Beethoven and women in his life (his mother and family, women he wrote letters to and love interests) but in the end i focused on just one and the myths that surrounds her.”
