about

Listening to the piano piece as program music goes something like this: sitting and waiting on the bench of an empty, underground platform. I tap impatiently with my feet on the smooth floor. There is a squeak in the tunnel: is someone doing pirouettes on rubber soles?

Suddenly it is there, stalked as if on sneakers, the Paris Metro. The doors close, the train accelerates considerably and yet rolls along as muffled as it did on arrival. One stop, then another. People are finally getting on. The carriages hurry forward on their sneakers.

Surprisingly, the illuminated windows of an oncoming train scurry past. For a moment I think I see Queneau's »Zazie«, who is sleeping through her longed-for metro ride. As I get off, I imagine the train with the sleeping »Zazie« reaching the depot and stopping gently.

Of course, it works just as well without a program.
