Leaving (by Per-Olov Kindgren)
I received this email from Canadian author, Margaret Blair (https://www.margaretblair.com/), and it inspired me to this music. Margaret wrote to me:
“Dear Per-Olov, I was doing my usual hour or so wandering through your music and I noticed that you explain the silences in your playing to your musically well-educated audience. I use this all the time when giving talks on my books e.g. for the end of my childhood memoir, as we are leaving, I describe the quick post-war return of Shanghai to its commercial roots and say:
“And engrossed in its own affairs, Shanghai, the love of my life, the place of my birth (pause)
turned its back. (longer pause)
On the wharf, a dead seagull, its wing lifted by fitful gusts of wind, waved goodbye.” (silence, end of talk).
Especially the last sentence, about the Seagull waving goodbye, caught my attention.
Thank you Margaret for inspiring me with your words!
