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.
