Konzert für Spielzeug und Schwimmbad

Classical compositions, including the concerto, are traditionally written in standard forms using exposition, development and recapitulation to form a clear storyline and climax for its listeners. In Konzert für Spielzeug und Schwimmbad the performer takes on the role of the soloist and the swimming pool of the orchestra. The piece’s monotonous and noisy melody, made when the performer breathes through the toy, defies the traditional forms of classical music by never ascending towards climax, providing the listener with a continual stimulus without a solution.
