Tessellation Sonata

violin and piano
 The first movement of Tessellation Sonata (2021) is based on the alternation of two contrasting themes and ends in a dreamy atmosphere with the appearance of a third theme. The second movement develops melodic material that had been present in the composer’s notebooks for twenty years, but had never been worked on. The composer’s current idiom has made it an opportune moment to treat this extremely lyrical and expressive theme, which underpins almost the entire movement.
The third movement evokes a landscape seen through the window of a speeding train. It is based on two main elements. The first is stated in the piano and has an obsessive mechanical and rhythmic character. It’s the train, a relentless, unstoppable machine.
The second element, the long melody of the violin, represents the traveller and the landscape that passes before his eyes, a landscape that changes slowly but inexorably, like a metaphor for life. For a few brief moments, the violin and piano blend rhythmically, but only to resume the journey afterwards, until the very end when they merge once and for all.  In all three movements, numerous unexpected modulations punctuate the discourse, one of the major characteristics of the composer’s current writing.
The world premiere by the dedicatees, Floor Hamerlinck (violin) and Lieve Van Der Plaetsen (piano), took place on 29 April 2023 in the concert hall of Pianos Maene in Ghent.
