The Peacock Moment – for Clarinet and Piano

Despite its short duration, The Peacock Moment holds a central place in Anders Hillborg’s worklist. Much of material in this frenetic 1-minute work for clarinet and piano derive from a prime-number series – a common feature in his subsequent work. Particularly striking is the way Hillborg creates the impression of a polyphony of voices within the clarinet’s solo lines.
