Work note by the composer: The lonely one was composed during May and June of the year 2000. It was written for Annika Gustafsson, to whom it is also dedicated. It was world-premiered on December 1 the same year in Caroli Church in Malmö. After that I had composed The Threat of War that was a dramatic and massive work for orchestra, I wanted to focus on melodic as well as harmonic and rhythmical processes combined with an inner dramatic content. In this case the solo violin works as a narrator where the piece itself is like a "monologue without words". In the score there are imprinted expressions like "racontare" (tellingly), "piacevole" (pleasingly) and "sospirare" (sighing). The lonely one is divided into three sections. 1. Doloroso (Painful) - the violin plays almost imperceptibly sighing glissandi that forms the basic material of the work. Its character is constantly searching. It leads up to the section Risoluto (Resolute) that has a very determined and edgy expression. 2. Misterioso (Mysteriously) - the materials from the previous section are now further developed. It builds up and breaks down during the course of the journey. Eventually it reaches a climax on a high d. 3. Calmando e espressivo (Calmingly and expressive) - From the high d it is stepping down to a recapture on material from the first part slightly changed and moody character. It dies out slowly with the lonely notes.
