Couperin's Concert Pieces for Cello and String Quartet accompaniment is an exciting addition to the string repertoire for its slightly unusual instrumentation. Francois Couperin (1668-1733) is often nicknamed 'Couperin the Great' to distinguish him from other members of the musical family. Concert Piecesis made up of five movements; 1) Prelude, 2) Sicilienne, 3) The Trumpet, 4) The Complaint, and 5) Devil's Air. Couperin's moods are expressed through choices of keys, adventurous harmonies and discords. With a significant amount of variation and inspiration, Concert Pieces is essential to the repertoire of aspiring, advanced String Quartets and solo 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.

Verkkommentar av tonsattaren:
Under 2004-2005 komponerade jag en cellokonsert for Mats Lidstrom. Samarbetet kring solostamman var intensivt i langa perioder vilket gav manga ideer och infallsvinklar samt god insikt i strakinstrumentens klangvarld och tekniska mojligheter. Det var darfor helt naturligt att med utgangspunkt fran de tva solokadenserna i cellokonserten aven komponera ett soloverk for Mats. Expose ar skrivet i en sats men har klart urskiljbara delar. Fran den langsamma inledningen arbetar sig stamman igenom alltmer dramatiska och animerade partier for att till slut explodera i den snabba slutdelen.
