Ice Tong

for flute, viola and guitar
composed 1996; duration 11 minutes
commissioned by Trio Molino

A virtuoso piece. While the flute is developing melodic phrases of great dynamic contrast, the viola and guitar are engaged in a strong rhythmical interplay which at times takes on a Tarantella-like quality. Later, the music falls into a calmer mood, and a quotation of the third song from Four Songs – of Desire and Sadness is heard. The piece also contains a short cadenza for the guitar, and the end is in absolute contrast to the beginning.
