00:00 Magnetar's emergence [exploration of the clarinet's timbres alone and with the resonance of percussion instruments] (4:20 The other players come on stage)
05:34 Penetration in the "unknown" [rapid, frantic runs from around the ensemble]
07:32 Heavenly shadows [subtle, mysterious timbres interspersed with continuing frantic clarinet runs]
10:11 In the "ultraspace" [calm, nearly a jazz ballad, rising to a wild climax at 11:38]
11:59 The Magnetar's hiss [more luscious Dutilleux-esque textures arise]
13:08 The sibylline attack [violent staccato runs interchanged between clarinet and ensemble leading to a grotesque climax at 14:51 featuring "elephant" multiphonics]
16:00 Into the evanescence [thin orchestral textures, while the clarinet takes alluring melodies rife with glissandos]
17:32 Arietta, (dissolution) [a calm, meditative ending, as the clarinet's texture thins out into breaths]

"Un Magnetar..." is based on a spatial journey. In this, a spatial object called Magnetar is the main source of the work (clarinet solo).
Different states come ahead which transform the Magnetar' s content, (formal and expressive), as well as the rest of players physical activity, until the full players achieve the full metamorphosis. Due to its huge timbral richness as well as its versatility, this work is entirely devoted to the clarinet, the most powerful shadow instrument...
This work is fully conceived towards the Klangkörper concept that Jörg Widmann possesses in his rich musical thinking. Despite the fact that there are few indications of the corporal activity written in the score, Widmann's richness is of such excellence, that implicitly one should think of Jörg when playing this piece in order to achieve a fresh narrativity lace and a powerful-expressive physicality."
The work is naturally dedicated to Jörg Widmann; mentor and friend =)
I also would like to thank Nuria Albella, whose help has been also essential =)
