ZU FLÄCHE for baritone sax and cello

ZU FLÄCHE is inspired by ‘Punkt und Linie zu Fläche’ (‘Point and line on plain’) by Vassilij Kandinskij, the essential properties described by the russian painter are rethought in musical terms and give life to an étude on the timbre and on the syntax of sound.

The two instruments are in dialogue and merge in a unique ‘abstract’ entity, a ‘composition’ in a Kandinskian sense, through a movement that from the music goes to the painting and come back to music. The composition was composed for the Cseallox Duo to whom is dedicated.
