This month's featured work
Pastorale Op.32 No.1
Pastorale Op.32 No.1 is an apparently bright and care-free composition which only after a while begins to worry us – this is due to the elegant use of bitonality which gives the piece a veritable Janus face.
We are treated to another example of Berg's compositional ambiguity – one of the principal elements of his music – in a work which is open to interpretation in any direction. The home key is F, constantly "undermined" by C sharp minor and D flat major tonalities.
In our media player you can listen to a performance by the Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by the composer.

Å Puste Ut Musikk (Exhaling Music)
Trond Eliassen, Norway, 2009, Documentary, 56
Surrounded by secrecy, the Rognan-composer Fred Jonny Berg, 36, has captured the heart and minds of the international music scene. The self-taught composer is on first name terms with stars such as Sir James Galway and Vladimir Ashkenazy. "I never compose music", Berg says, "the tones just float around inside my head. When they get too loud, I have to breathe them out." This film is a story about a personal war, and about finally recapturing the love for music and life.
Winner of the 2010 Tromso Films From the North Award
