about

Knapp The 19-div trumpet offers smaller intervals and a set of pitches that are near those one is more accustomed to in music. In this regards, the sense of “nearly” or “just about” reoccurred to me when listening to this tuning. The German word knapp encompasses this sense. My work fashions a short dramatic course by threading a series of associations that start and end with the word knapp: the word “nearly” leads to “bordering on” which leads to “edges”. These simple English words or phrases develop toward very remote ideas like bonus and premium. For its part, the music reinforces the text through characterization and reference.
