Sugar-Fela Tango

About the work
When I started writing ‘Sugar-Fela Tango’ I had in mind to write a simple, tonal and funny tango-like piece. The fact that the score had to be flexibly scored was new to me. It is very well possible to perform the work on piano only, but the four added instruments give the opportunity to improvise endlessly. Suggested instruments are accordion, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, flute and mouth organ but I would also love to hear the composition performed on glasses-filled-with-water! I am all open to surprises! HK
