For solo violin(ist) explores and challenges our strong listening expectations towards the violin and the violinist. The violin is such a strong sounding, historic and symbolic object, and when writing for violin the sounds you explore will (almost) always be somewhat in relation to this. The roles are very set, as are the expectations, and the sheet for a new piece from the start blurred with connotations.
