thoughts of a different kind focuses on a single melody—laden with sighing figures—heard in the
opening violin solo. The tune is ramified throughout via fragmentation and
expansion, always presented in a new context—juxtaposed and/or superposed
by music of disparate characters. The work reflects on and is inspired by the question:
“...what does it mean when some tune follows you, occurs to you [...] in the middle of thoughts of a quite different kind?”
Theodor Reik, “The Haunting Melody” (1960).
