Ivan Madarasz: What Hamlet did not Tell Ophelia

Iván Madarász (1949– )
Certainly, this solo piece for flute does not continue the plot of  Shakespeare’s drama. It rather varies the possible conversations of Hamlet and Ophelia. Although the piece does not contain aleatoric elements, it rather challenges the dramaturgical phantasy of the performer. The different kinds of instrument playing gives the opportunity to the listener to recognise the voice of Hamlet here and Ophelia there.
