“Inspired by a visit of a concert, I had a vision of a comic scene with a little dictator tyrannizing his people until they start a revolution.
While composing, I was interested in the main question: Who gives the commands, who has to obey? The composer, the conductor, or the musician himself?
I was looking for a space between determination and liberty, between composition and improvisation, between dictatorship and anarchy.” — Gregor A. Mayrhofer
