Irrlichtspiel für Violine und EnsZle
Three compositions which belong together were written by Tihanyi in 1991-1992: Winterszenen, Nachtszene (night Scene) and Irrlichtspiel (Will o the wisp). The Irrlichtspiel composition for violin solo and 19 instruments ensemble, came out of thenotes for the song entitled Irrlicht in the fifth scene of Winterszenen (...this composition exactly follows the musical process of Winterreise by Schubert...). Here, the starting point was the refrain-like, pregnant rhythm motive, attached to thepiano introduction of the Schubert song. At the end of the first part called Prelude, a miniature exposition prepares for the five developments. Their titles are: Adagio, Capriccio, Monolog,Pantomime and Postludio. World première: Budapest, 30 April,1996. Ildikó Line - violin, Budapest Sinfonietta, conducted by Gergely Vajda.
