ish comments:
Divertimento I and
Divertimento II, for two
violins were composed in
1996. These two sister
compositions have the
additional attraction of
being unedited works
which are representative
of the composer's most
recent style. This
etymological description,
which defines a
personality rather than
an established musical
style, takes the form of
a succession of
contrasting dynamic
movements. One of the
most outstanding features
is the way in which the
two instruments break
away from their usual
range of sounds to create
the ideal conditions for
suggesting their latent
extent of sound
possibilities in
compositions that could
be extended perfectly
well into a string
quartet. The interplay
between the two
instruments opens up a
whole range of
possibilities: short
motives in an imitative
style often braking out
into a repetition of
brief themes with a lot
of personality, sequences
of transformations,
repetitive rhythms, etc.
All theses show the
virtuosity of the players
on their own and together
and because of their
characteristics, they are
written in a very clear
tonal language, a times,
modal, oriental, or even
pentatonic. The
progression of the
movements is governed by
a desire for variety:
between the fast opening
and closing movements
there is a sequence of
relaxed andante -some of
which are in an easy
two-part canon style- in
scherzzi -and these are
the lightest, most airy
fragments of the two
Divertimenti. Recordings:
Ilia Ioff and Ilia
Teplyakov (violins),

Comentari

Espanol:
Divertimento
I y Divertimento II, para
dos violines fueron
compuestos en el ano
1996. Un atractivo
adicional de estas dos
composiciones hermanas
raya en su condicion de
obras ineditas y
representativas de la
ultima manera del
compositor. La acepcion
etimologica, que define
un caracter mas que una
forma musical
establecida, se concreta
aqui en una sucesion de
movimientos contrastados
de gran dinamismo. Cabe
remarcar la capacidad de
los instrumentos para
superar su estricto
ambito sonoro y crear las
condiciones idoneas para
sugerir toda la amplitud
sonora latente en unas
composiciones que, con
toda propiedad, podrian
ser ampliadas en cuarteto
de cuerda. El juego al
que se someten los dos
instrumentos se halla
abierto a multiples
posibilidades: breves
motivos en estilo
imitativo susceptibles de
desembocar en elementos
tematicos reiterados,
poco desarrollados y de
fuerte personalidad,
mutaciones secuenciales,
ritmos obstinados, etc.,
que propician el
virtuosismo individual y
colectivo de los
ejecutantes y que, por
sus caracteristicas, se
inscriben en un lenguaje
tonal muy claro,
ocasionalmente abierto,
tambien, a trazos modales
y orientalizantes e,
incluso, a lo
pentatonico. El criterio
que rige la progresion de
los movimientos responde
a simples razones de
variedad: entre los
fragmentos extremos
rapidos, inicial y
conclusivo, una sucesion
de andante distendidos -a
veces en un descanso
estilo canonico a dos
voces- y de scherzo los
fragmentos mas ingravidos
y aereos de los
Divertimenti.
