Zivkovic-In Erinnerungen Schwebend op. 10(S)

This work begins with the "pieces" of melodies in flutes and vibraphone as putting "the pieces of memories together". Raither melancholic music, changes with the hovering vibraphone. Slowly the interwoven flutes work  themselves up into a turbulent rage. The upset „conversation" of the flutes is interrupted by a stroke of ?????. The music becomes softer with vibraphone The whole atmosphere of the composition is a real "floating" of the sounds. The ending  is silenced with whiplash like a slow "music-forgetting"  of memories... The fact that the composition is not tonal in the classical sense of meaning doesn't make it too "modern and rough" in sound.
