Bemerkung: Zur Inspiration durch die Portraits aus der National Portrait Gallery in London führt der Komponist folgendes an (1997): In composing these ‘sound paintings’ of prominent figures whose portraits hang in the National Portrait Gallery I was attempting an objective character analysis of each one, from my own particular perspective. In order to maintain this distance throughout, I use an old Scottish dance tune which is transformed from one piece to the next to capture the character and the historical context of each portrait: https://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/catalogue/cat_detail?=&musicid=1116&langid=1
