about

'stilla sväva' presents Swedish pianists Mats Persson and Kristine Scholz performing two intimate and personal pieces by the Swedish kacapi musician and composer Kristofer Svensson composed for early 19th century instruments tuned in just intonation.

'I Sommarluft', performed by Persson on a Swedish Lindholm-Söderström clavichord from 1809, is described by Svensson as a musical self-portrait in six movements. With direct quotations and variations, the composer reflects on their musical training and brings into a unified poetic vision different musical traditions such as Japanese mi-kagura, European Renaissance music, Sundanese tarawangsa, and the music of Svensson’s teacher Fujieda Mamoru.

On 'Kori Kamandungan', performed on a square piano built by Pehr Rosenwall in the 1840s, Scholz plays an elaborate part of twenty different harmonics—something that is made possible by the horizontal layout of the strings—while Persson leisurely moves through simple chordal and melodic phrases in a justly tuned 5-limit pitch space. The combination of brittle harmonics, soft dynamics, and the exploitation of the fast-beating Pythagorean harmonies found within the 5-limit tuning creates a gentle atmosphere of aurorean shimmering.
