Eres Holz

MACH (DO) is the title of a cycle of pieces for solo instruments which Eres Holz began in 2011 with a virtuoso trumpet solo and which now comprises nine pieces, with live electronics added since the clarinet piece of 2016. MACH! is both an exhortation and an homage to the physicist Ernst Mach. The unit of measurement that bears the latter’s name is still used to indicate the speed of supersonic aircraft – a suggestion of the difficulty of the pieces. MACH, as written in the score of the organ piece, is “a kind of invitation to do that which is not trivial”.
