Jägerna på Karinhall

Johannes X. Schachtner used Wagner tubas in both ‘Jägerna på Karinhall’ and in *air - an Samuels aerophon’. In the latter piece, the idea of long wind chords is inspired by the beginning of Richard Strauss' “Alpine Symphony”. The solo work for Wagner tuba, the burlesque ‘Jägerna på Karinhall’ was written in 2010. The title refers to a book by the Swedish author Carl-Henning Wijmark
(German: ‘The hunters of Karinhall’).
