The original intention was to name the solo “le sexe du noyé,” and the few measures of “sexe-tuor” served as the composer’s first attempt to craft a piece with more complex rhythms, aiming to multiply individual fragments from the sextet, “le retour du noyé” (hence the name “sextuor”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this approach turned out to be excessively complicated and impractical. Consequently, the ten measures of the “sexe-tuor” fragment came to symbolize a capitulation in the face of these complexities, representing the interruption of an immovable column of air in a frozen multiphonic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, a straightforward solution presented itself: When composing “le sexe du noyé,” the composer discovered that the proportionalities of pitch levels and rhythmic values revealed significant rhythmic possibilities. Therefore, “sexe-tuor” remains a solo piece that can also function as an intermezzo between other larger works in a concert program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 90-second composition can be performed in two versions: either for solo piccolo or solo oboe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWalter Feldmann\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Glarus in 1965, Walter Feldmann graduated from high school and pursued studies in literature, linguistics, and musicology at the University of Zurich before fully dedicating himself to music.
