Extra Information | The Cello Sonata (Incantata) is divided in sections that are unified by the use of three main themes that appear variously intertwined throughout the composition. The most striking appears early in the piece and is characterized by a dramatic flourish spanning a large part of the cello range. “Incantata” refers to the subtext of the Sonata. In Italian “incantata” means to be enchanted, but it can also indicate to be under a spell. The piece can be thought as a journey in an enchanted territory. Following a summoning, we enter a territory full of revealed beauty, ecstatic moments, but also dark undertones. |
