One of the most basic building blocks of music is the so-called caller ore. That is what we hear when mother calls out: Johnny, eat! Add an upper second to that descending third, and you have a constellation with which countless children's songs and countdown verses open (including Handkerchief, Eagle Stick, White Swans, Black Swans). We also hear these primordial sounds at the beginning of Magnus

The virtuoso clarinet part moves to the extreme regions of the instrument, supported by the sounding board of a colorful symphony orchestra. In the most glorious moments, the 'caller ore' returns, accompanied by blistering orchestral sounds. Fantasme (2014-2018) by Johan Farjot also sounds seductive, with passages that sound like film music. This piece even sounds here for the first time. The premiere for the public is still awaiting. Clarinetist Jean-Luc Votano also plays a classic from the last century. Karl Amadeus Hartmann's Chamber Concert was created around 1930-1935.
