Lines and Dots
by Harri Ahmas
Trio for bassoon, cello and piano
Description
Tämän trion rakennetta voisi kuvailla ajatuksella ympyrä sulkeutuu tai yhtä hyvin sanalla metamorfoosi. Sävellyksen idea rakentuu nimensä mukaisesti pitkille fraaseille ja kuiville staccatoiskuille. Alun pitkät pianon esittämät melodialinjat lyhynevät vähitellen muuttuen lyhyemmiksi repliikeiksi soitinten välillä. Tämä vuoropuhelu kehittyy vähitellen aksentoiduiksi iskuiksi melodialinjan katkeillessa samalla, kun soittotapa muuttuu aggressiivisemmäksi. Lyhyen välikkeen jälkeen huipennuksessa palataan alun pitkään melodiseen linjaan, joka haurastuu vähitellen ja hiljentyy kohti loppua.
