This work was composed and recorded during two nights of a deep
solitude. As the traditional way I follow in touch with the
music, all of the melodies were not simply an expression of
moments of melancholy, but also were a kind of escapism;
The title of this work is a reference to the end of an
relationship. If comparated with the artwork, with the
twilight and the couple watching the sunset together, there
is a contradiction, because the end of the relationship was
not so peaceful, was not with troubles, but simply silent.
The reason of why this painting of Caspar David Friedrich
is on the frontcover is like a reference to the last moments
before the leaving, the separation of two lifes. My music
always is a form to express how goes my sensibility, and
certally moments like an Abschied makes the sense
of criativity be high, as a necessity of an escapism;
On backcover there is a photo of N. playing piano on his
room of piano;
There is also an inspiration of the poem Abschied, by
E. Geibel. Originally on german: Abschied: Leb' wohl,
leb' wohl, mein Kind, und keine Klage! Noch einen Kuss, noch
eine Neige Wein! So licht und freundlich waren diese
Tage, Lass freundlich auch den Abschied sein. Sieh, wenn hinab
zu sⁿdlich fernen Bordder Im langen Wanderzug der Kranich
schwirrt, Begleitet ihn ein Traum vom grⁿnen Norden, Es
spⁿrt es, dass er wiederkehren wird.So wird auch uns von
unserm kurzen GlⁿckeEin Schimmer fort und fort in Herzen
stehn,Und treu Gedenken sei die goldne Brⁿcke,Von
Scheidegruss zum Wiedersehn. E. Geibel.
