Duration: approx. 8 Minuten
Description
The work, lasting 7 minutes 30 minutes, was composed in December 2020. It is dedicated to Pierre Henri Xuereb who has commissioned it.
Discovering the instrument was a wonderful moment! The softness of the sound, and the quality of the different registers convinced me to write for him. The Prelude, lasting 4 minutes, is made up of two parts. The first, from bar 1 to 23, makes a melodic theme heard in the medium of the instrument. The development is in two parts: The first part goes from bar 24 to 44, the second from bar 45 to 64. A coda at bar 65 ends the prelude in a soft and serene atmosphere.
The Dance, lasting 3 minutes 30, offers an ABA form. A playful theme will be given three times in the three registers. After a transition to bar 39, a middle part is played from bar 40 to 67. It develops the main theme. The reexposure takes place at bar 68. It varies between repeats of the theme. A last part is played at bar 113 and concludes the work in a beautiful energy.
