'Schütten' is a contemporary composition by Austrian composer Katharina Klement. The piece was composed in 2012 and premiered on November 23, 2012, at the Echoraum in Vienna, Austria. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "Schütten I," is characterized by its use of extended techniques on the piano, including plucking and scraping the strings. The movement also features a prominent use of silence, with long pauses between notes and phrases. The second movement, "Schütten II," is more rhythmic and percussive, with the piano being played in a more traditional manner. The movement features a repetitive, driving rhythm that gradually builds in intensity before abruptly ending. The final movement, "Schütten III," is the most experimental of the three, with the piano being played in unconventional ways, such as using mallets and other objects to create a variety of sounds. The movement also features electronic manipulation of the piano's sound, adding an additional layer of complexity to the composition. Overall, 'Schütten' is a challenging and innovative composition that pushes the boundaries of traditional piano music. Its use of extended techniques and unconventional playing methods creates a unique and captivating listening experience.
