Supporting a balanced course of study, this series organizes repertoire into nine volumes from the Preparatory Level through Level 8. Each level offers music from a range of styles and compositional eras, including standard literature, new arrangements of familiar tunes, and music written for cellists, by cellists.

The piece was commissioned by a colleague Brett Dean of the Berliner Philharmoniker, the violist Walter Kussner, as part of a CD project with works for solo viola in 1998/99. Since then, the composer himself has played it himself countless times in concerts andlectures. Here it is now in a congenial adaptation for cello. The title Intimate Decisions comes from a painting by Dean's wife, theAustralian painter Heather Betts, and indicates the private nature of the music. According to Dean, writing a piece for a solo string instrument was strangely similar to writing a personal letter or an intense conversation with a close friend. The piece begins with a short series of individual intervals of a rather intangible character, followed by a more emphatic motif of a minor sixth and minor ninth, and later a chain of harmonies whirring down the lower strings. The various developing characters go through an increasingly decisive, ultimately dramatic conversation, in rhapsodic alternation with flighty virtuosity, but also calm and delicacy, only to fade away like an echo at the end.

Geschrieben 1981 fur die Malerin und Musikerin Rivka Golani, wurde das Werk 1981 im Rahmen von Musique Vivante, Paris, durch Rivka Golani, Viola, uraufgefuhrt.Eine in sehr langsamem Tempo fortschreitende Harmonik wird durch eine genau festgelegte Arpeggio- und Tremolo-Technik des Bogens von mehreren unaufhorlich zitternden und sich in allen Richtungen unregelmassig bewegenden Klanggittern uberdeckt. Was durch diese Gitter hindurch tont, ist eine ausserst vielschichtige, extrem rasch sich bewegende Musik, die gleichzeitig ablauft.Es gibt Versionen des gleichen Werkes auch fur Viola (1981) und fur Violine (1983).-Heinz Holliger.
