Jane Pedersen on the organ concerto

In accordance with his systematic work method and the necessity it represented, Poul Gernes could not give his organ concerto from 1968 a specific title. That would be to attach too much importance to a particular title, so there had have to be many titles to choose from. Therefore, it came to be called: 
 

14 minutes 
 

or 
 

the bike ride 
 

or 
 

it could have been better 
 

or 
 

the weather 
 

or  
 

it is serious 
 

or 
 

does it enter the red? 
 

or 
 

see what it says 
 

or  
 

100 m 
 

or  
 

great wind force 
 

or  
 

the threshing mechanism 
 

or  
 

the helicopter   
---
one at three min.
