Informationen
The piece was composed in November 2020. It stands out in its original style among the innovations, themes or Contrasti, highlighted by the peculiarity of the one and a half notes and short hexatonic scales that serve as the opening and closing of the thematic elements. The themes that are resumed in the piece recall oriental influences assimilated and derived during the studies in Sicily - the composer's place of birth - and mature a style that is pure, peculiar and original: the listener must be an active subject - and not passive - in order to imagine a story and grasp its own «meaning». The piece is divided into three parts, also called Contrasti, which differ in tempo, themes and character.
