When I learned that the premiere of the piece was going to be at Bargemusic in Brooklyn, the good times that I had spent over the years in New York City immediately came to mind. As I started writing, locations and memories of certain events became the inspiration for the three individual movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEast River Funk is a tribute to the waterway on which the venue of the premiere, Bargemusic, is located. Its musical backbone is a steady funk rhythm, which forms the base for a virtuosic oboe solo. The movement proceeds through a quieter groove into a contemplative, contrapuntal section featuring the winds and the cello. Nearing its conclusion, the original theme reappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Hours reminds of the wee hours of the morning in Manhattan, when most businesses and restaurants are closed, when traffic is light and the city is not quite awake yet. The clarinet paints the picture of a relaxed late-night-feel in this jazzy ballad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvenue A \u0026amp; 2nd is the location where I have stayed during most of my visits to New York. The apartment at this address was bustling with life at all times - 3 jazz musicians were living there, one of them in the living room - and the movement reflects on the energy and sometimes insanity (in the good sense of the word) of things going on there. The piano is clearly the solo instrument in this movement, romping through a quasi-swing groove and accompanied - or disrupted - by percussive woodwind accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Gernot Wolfgang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Fe, June 2025\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Trevco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381354156111,"sku":"TRE.72670","price":44.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e9d794b288bd0ceecf7aada908a6a3ff.webp?v=1786376848","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/wolfgang-new-york-moments-trevco","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
