This four-handed piano work was conceived as a kind of symphonic poem with a rhapsodical form. The structural balance comes out of the strong opposition between the assertively motorized passages and those with a euphoric lyricism. The programmatic discourse deals with the great Quixotic themes -madness, idealized love, the struggle between the individual and society, and death- interconnect not as a description of the facts of the novel, but rather as an attempt to sketch a portrait of the Knight of the Sad Countenance and his interior psychological conflict. The rhythmic element represents Quixote´s obstinate resistance and his heroic defence of his ideal when faced with the prosaic and mocking incomprehension of those around him. The melodic themes symbolize the retreat into oneself and the search for interior refuge. In keeping with the Germanic conception of Don Quixote which refused to accept his final, sad capitulation, I have, like Nietzsche and Thomas Mann, tried to give our hero´s story a victorious ending- one without knee-bending or lowering-of-the-gaze.
