NOTES

The cycle Two Pieces of ice (1995) continue my interest on the dualism between two contrasting movements. This unusual title refers to an impression aroused after a trip on a mountainous region full of icy landscapes. The idea to relate the geometry of ice with that of music was interesting for me.

The two pieces (Allegro brillante – Andante) are not only contrasting in character, each piece is divided into different sections which elaborate the thematic material in new ways.
