Mark Baldwin OBE I painted this piece while listening to Schubert's Die Winterreisse (Winter Journey) which is a song cycle for voice and piano (D.911, published as Op. 89 in 1828) set to 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller. This painting visualises for me the abstract way I would set dance to the first song of the cycle Gute Nacht (Good Night). These figures appeared to me as I was listening to this brilliant music and allowing my body to respond in the most direct way possible straight onto the surface of the paper. The figures act as code/blue print for when I will choreograph the work for a dancer. I have "translated" this entire musical work in this way, so look out the other movements as they appear on this site. You are free to make your own dance from this score, you may read it from left to right or allow your eyes to wonder across the picture as you listen to the music. Everything is allowed.
