| Programme Note | The horn has fragments of a melody that sounds like an operatic aria. Each fragment is answered by the piano alone which has a distorted version of the fragment- with a similar rhythm but a different melody and harmony. Later on, the piano has the melody. Then the melody fragments are not answered consecutively, but simultaneously. A three note fragment is then repeated in a rising scale until a frantic climax is reached. There follows a much slower section which is a slightly ghostly resume of what has gone before. |
