Details
This is a compact composition intended for a four-piece instrumental ensemble. The narrative portrays a sleeper who sporadically opens an eye, best expressed through staccato "beat-box" techniques applied to the flute and clarinet, as indicated. Despite disturbances, the sleeper continues to rest, as it's not yet time to rise. The concluding emphatic chord could symbolize the sleeper tumbling out of bed! The performers for this piece are the Budapest Wind Quartet, consisting of Ildikó Szabady on the flute, Márton Belek playing the oboe, Hunor Egyed with the clarinet, and Kristóf Szilágyi handling the bassoon.
