It was composed in 2014 and premiered on October 17, 2014, at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, titled "The Beginning," is characterized by a slow and mysterious introduction, with the use of percussion and strings creating a sense of tension and anticipation. The movement then builds up to a faster tempo, with the use of brass and woodwinds creating a sense of urgency and excitement. The second movement, titled "The Middle," is more introspective and contemplative, with the use of solo instruments such as the clarinet and violin creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The movement is marked by a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity, with the use of dissonant harmonies and unexpected shifts in tempo and dynamics. The third and final movement, titled "The End," is marked by a sense of resolution and closure, with the use of a triumphant brass section and soaring melodies creating a sense of triumph and victory. The movement ends with a sense of finality, with the use of a sustained chord creating a sense of closure and completion. Overall, "Story Teller" is a complex and multi-layered composition that explores themes of narrative and storytelling through the use of a wide range of musical techniques and styles. It is a testament to Kalitzke's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging.More....
