The title of
the work refers to the
ornament-like musical
motifs of the solo part.
These open the piece and
later, during the
elaboration of the form,
they provide for building
blocks. The composition,
lasting approximately 12
minutes, includes 13
small formal sections.
The first three of them
serve as an introduction
the presentation of the
solo viola, accompanied
by percussion istruments,
is broken by the
interjection of the winds
and the piano. The
strings appear in Section
4, the first pure Tutti
for the first time: the
solo instrument is silent
here. This is followed by
two longer joint sections
of the solo and the
ensemble in these a
classical,
responding-contrapuntalre
lationship comes to
effect between soloist
and ensemble players.
Section 7 is the first
cadenza of the viola,
answered by the ensemble
alone in Section 8. The
next section is a sort of
an accompanied Toccata,
featuring the rapid
figurations of the solo
instrument. Sections 10
and 12 are further viola
cadenzas, with a Tutti
between them, accompanied
by the viola. In the
concluding section
musical ideas with
farewell or coda-like
character, played by the
full ensemble,
prevail.(László
Tihanyi)The piece was
premiered by Péter
Bársony and the
THReNSeMBLe (conducted by
the composer) on 3rd May
2016 in Budapest.
