"Poem for Kerstin Bachlin" is a contemporary classical composition by Swedish composer Ola Johansson. The piece was composed in 2012 and premiered on October 27th of the same year at the Konserthuset in Stockholm, Sweden. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct character and mood. The first movement, marked "Lento," is a slow and contemplative piece that features a haunting melody played by the solo violin. The second movement, marked "Allegro," is a lively and energetic piece that showcases the virtuosity of the soloist. The final movement, marked "Adagio," is a somber and introspective piece that brings the composition to a peaceful and reflective close. The piece is characterized by its use of extended techniques, such as harmonics and glissandi, which add to the expressive and emotional quality of the music. The solo violin is the centerpiece of the composition, with the orchestra providing a rich and supportive backdrop for the soloist's virtuosic playing. Overall, "Poem for Kerstin Bachlin" is a beautiful and evocative composition that showcases Ola Johansson's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both technically challenging and emotionally resonant.
