This work was commissioned by the Swiss violinist and composer Helena Winkelman
and the Camerata Variabile Basel.
The thematic background for the commission of this composition
was Vienna in time of "Fin de siècle", represented in this Concert program by the music of Berg, Webern, Mahler. The title of the work "Eclairs de mémoire" means flashs of memory. The basic theme of the composition is indeed each form of unreal memory of a former epoch,of past situations or the remembrance
of certain people. It was the wish of the Ensemble Camerata Variabile,
that the piece should have a relationship to Alban Berg to whom I have a very big affinity.
That happens in this piece in form of extremly short moments of "Déja-vu" or "Eclairs de mémoire", but so unreal, that you don't know if it is a conscious allusion or a phantom.
