Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Composition works like an arborescent structure. At each ramification you choose a path, which depends on the whole dynamic of the whole piece. Doing this, you leave quite a lot of ideas and fragments behind. Nachlese is a german term already used by Goethe for the idea of 'reading again', referring to, commenting something...
The idea of this cycle (Nachlese) is to come back to some musical ideas which I liked and found interesting, but were inappropriate in a different context and to develop them in new directions.
When choosing a title I like it to refer to different techniques used in the piece, but also very directly to what is heard at some moments. For instance, in the first movement the orchestra 'emerges' from the very fast and nervous line played by the soloist and then, later, the 'climax' of this movement 'emerges' from the fast line then played by the orchestra.
This piece is dedicated to Jean-Guihen Queyras and Thierry Fischer. / contemporain / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre
