No, I don’t know what lies ahead. Nor who is lying.
However, take stock. ( Take everything …. )
Take 2015 ; post CELLO CONCERTO. The little Piccolo Quartetto Filarmonico ( a string quartet with double bass ) and the Piano Trio Nr. 2 ( Viola with cello plus piano ) are both shortish ( the first is only one movement ) . Both
more-or-less barred. Is my writing in both “simple” ? “Late Corcoran ” ?
Not sure at all. A new love of this or that figure, interval, sigh. But the old search for:
form , elegance ( i.e. exhaust the material but then stop ) , aura remains. How achieve these ?
Rounding and rounding up ?
Perhaps.
We’ll know sooner or later. And the 8 little Irish Duets ( Piano and Cello ) are a delight. The projected C.D. also.
Good summary. A good start to this 2016 composer’s year.
