Udflugt Med Omveje (Excursion With Detours) was commissioned by the Danish Accordion Teachers Association. The work is dedicated to Jostein Stahlheim who performed it for the first time at the biennale for Young Nordic Soloists in Oslo in 1984. The present version was edited by Danish accordionist Mogens Ellegaard. The piece consists of serial and rhythmical systems that confront remnants of the tonal system. Hence the title: sometimes the onward motor gestures forget their direction and stray into more familiar paths.
