part and score
Description
The 8-minute work was composed in July 2021 and is dedicated to Jean Louis Beaumadier, who has also commissioned it.
It presents two very different movements. The first movement, with lasts 4.45 minutes, begins with an introduction to the cello which leads the piccolo to play the main theme of the movement. This is structured in two parts: The first part from bars 1 to 14 and the second part from bars 15 to 21. This is followed by four melodic variations that emphasize the dialogue between the two instruments. The fourth variation, at bar 76, will be given as a cello cadenza. A coda at bar 85 concludes the movement in a soft light.
The second movement, lasting 3 minutes, begins with the piccolo, which gives the main theme of the movement. It is then taken up by the cello. A development will be proposed between measures 11 to 17. A second thematic element is presented from bar 18. It is developed up to bar 40. The return of theme A in bar 41, is given this time by the cello, then by the piccolo, which develops the theme again during an instrumental cadence. At bar 56, the theme A is heard in octave canon then in homorhythmy. The movement ends with great energy.
