I remember first reading about Arngunnur \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir<\/a> about a year ago in an article on R\u00daV<\/a>; a clarinetist with the symphony who had just published her first book of poetry, Unglingar<\/em>. She sounded fascinating \ud83d\ude42 I found the book and ordered it, a small hand-bound edition of modern prose poetry, published by Me\u00f0g\u00f6ngulj\u00f3\u00f0<\/a>. Mine has “Eintak nr 96 af 200<\/strong>” on the inside cover \ud83d\ude42 It is still listed on Eymundsson<\/a> as well if you want to try to pick up a copy.<\/p>\n

“I was studying in Berlin and there it was common to have matinee concerts midday on Sundays. So people could go to brunch either before or after. So it’s a bit of a European model,” says Arngunnur \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir, clarinetist and poet, about the afternoon concert of the Reykjavik Chamber Orchestra<\/a> in the Kaldal\u00f3n Auditorium<\/a> on Sunday at 12:15.<\/em><\/p>\n

You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to figure out what br\u00f6ns<\/strong> was \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\u00dear er Schubert-oktettinn sem fluttur ver\u00f0ur en hann telst til merkustu kammerverka t\u00f3nlistars\u00f6gunnar.<\/p>\n

There Schubert’s Octet will be performed, regarded as the most distinguished chamber work in music history.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very cheerful piece, light and stimulating,” says Arngunnar, and says she is performing the Octet for the first time.<\/p>\n

“I have always considered it interesting and beautiful, and it’s been on my wish list to play for a long time,” she says.

There’s an interesting example of the verb flytja<\/strong> used in the sense of performing something, here music, but can also be a play, poem, lecture, etc. Usually you encounter it meaning move, carry<\/em>. Also the verb kve\u00f0a<\/strong> (say<\/em>), which I don’t run into all that much it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n

Flutningurinn tekur n\u00e6rri klukkustund, en b\u00fdst Arngunnur vi\u00f0 a\u00f0 sveitin spili \u00feetta m\u00e6ta verk oftar og v\u00ed\u00f0ar?<\/p>\n

The performance takes nearly an hour, but does Arngunnar think the group might play this distinguished piece more often and more widely?<\/p>\n

“That could be. There are ideas to perform it in the spring, or at least some movements from it, at the Children\u2019s Culture Festival<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Usually sveit<\/strong> has to do with being in the the country, or refers to a geographical region, but here I think it’s one of the other meanings of a group<\/em>, in this case the musicians (band).<\/p>\n
