Work comment by the composer:
The lonely one was composed during May and June of the year 2000. It was written for Annika Gustafsson, to whom it is also dedicated. It was world-premiered on December 1 the same year in Caroli Church in Malmo. After that I had composed The Threat of War that was a dramatic and massive work for orchestra, I wanted to focus on melodic as well as harmonic and rhyhtmical processes combined with a inner dramatic content. In this case the solo violin works as a narrator where the piece itself is like a monologue without words.
In the score there are imprinted expressions like racontare (tellingly), piacevole (pleasingly) och sospirare(sighing).
The lonely one is divided in three sections.
1. Doloroso (Painful) - the violin plays almost imperceptly sighing glissandi that forms the basic material of the work. Its character is constantly searching. It leads up to the section Risoluto (Resolute) that has a very determined and edgy expression.
2. Misterioso (Mysteriously) - the materials from the previous section are now further developed. It builds up and breaks down during the course of the journey. Eventually it reaches a climax on a high d.
3. Calmando e espressivo (Calmingly and expressive) - From the high d it is stepping down to a recapture on material from the first part slightly changed and moody character. It dies out slowly with the lonely notes.

In ancient times, language and music were already regarded as an inseparable unit. Homer’s epic poems, for example, were sung, and in the highly developed art of rhetoric, words were used to communicate reason, while music spoke to the soul. Since Monteverdi’s time, musical delineation of text has become even more important: rhetoric terms such as “exclamatio”, “saltus duriusculus”, and “climax” were applied to music in order to render the emotional content of the text in even more expressive ways.

Szathmàry used this compositional method as a model when he drafted his work for violin “Rhetorica”. He wrote about this work: “My aim was to instill a “speaking quality” into even the tiniest musical elements in order to allow for the music to become a powerful narration of the moments experienced in a human life with all its highs and lows – entirely without the use of words.”
