Anaglyphes

violoncello and piano

Composed in 2021, Anaglyphes is a suite of three short pieces for cello and piano. Each piece explores a distinct expressive terrain while showcasing a refined interplay between the two instruments.

The first piece adopts an ABA′ structure. Section A develops two contrasting motifs: one is highly rhythmic, based on short double-stopped figures; the other, more melodic, is played pizzicato. Section B introduces a more lyrical atmosphere, allowing an expansive melody to unfold — first in the piano, supported rhythmically by the cello, then taken over by the cello itself while the piano counters with an obstinate motif. The return of A′ revisits the initial elements, transforming them through sudden modulations and superimpositions that produce striking shifts in colour.

The second piece revolves around a highly expressive melody that traverses a range of moods through frequent modulations and a dialogue of equals between cello and piano.

The third piece also follows an ABA′ form. Section A alternates a rhythmically assertive motif with a more lyrical figure built on cello arpeggios, underpinned by rhythmic piano chords. In section B, the cello sings out a long, soaring line in the upper register, supported by a continuous sixteenth-note ostinato in the piano. The final A′ reintroduces the motifs from the opening, now transposed and varied, leading to a passionate and radiant conclusion.
