Luca Francesconi
Impulse II (1995)
for Clarinet, Violin and Piano
Length: 11:00
The composition is an attempt to render, in the clearest possible way, and as perceptibly as a painter's gesture, a process of transformation conducted on a single sweeping formal "bowing". Here, instead of development, it is a question of almost physiological transformation. The sole intention of the beginning is to propose itself as a plain state of energy, as the search for a rhythm. The energy spreads, evolving gradually from the indefinite to the definite, then fades away and recedes always more in a grand rallentando of space and time.
