"Twist and Shout had its origins in some recitals that Sivelöv played with one of Sweden's brightest young clarinet virtuosos, Martin Fröst. At a Paris concert, Sivelöv noticed that Fröst was athletic in his performance, and also had a strong physical stage presence. To take advantage of these qualities, Sivelöv composed this solo clarinet work with elements of mime and use of the player's voice. In five brief scenes framed by an introduction and an epilogue, the piece tells the story of the life cycle of a puppet from its construction to its end. The music is only about seven and a half minutes long, though it takes longer in live performance due to the clarinetist's miming. The title of the piece, taken from a well known rock 'n' roll classic, does not signify that there is any quotation from that song. Rather, it refers to the fact that the performer, in addition to playing the clarinet, moves his body in the mime and sometimes shouts, sometimes speaks, sometimes sings notes. Although the work was devised for a particular performer who can mime and dance in addition to playing his part, it is also written such that it can be performed without the stage presentation."
