Scordatura - violin concerto / concert
Scordatura - violin concerto / concert
Four distinct violins (including a quarter violin), with very unusual scordature are played by the soloist who will try throughout the three movements to find the original chord of the instrument, like a quest for consonance, a balance, of a world without tension.
Sometimes techno sounds come to oppose this long journey affirming an abrupt reality in the face of what now looks like a vanished world, expressed here by a few allusions to the Concerto in memory of an angel by Berg or the borrowing from a small popular melody dating from the beginning of the 20th century, the Matchiche.
