Capriccio (2020)

performed by Magdalena Kołcz-Wrzesien (violin)
Premiere: Nov 14, 2020, KLAVIERgallerie, Vienna, AT

Capriccio is an imaginative, free and lively solo piece with two themes that arbitrarily seek their validity. The first theme is rooted in an energetic gesture, the second theme is lyrical with large intervallic leaps. When the solitary gesture finds a way into continuous movement and the lyrical theme is transferred into irregular dance, both thoughts are unpredictably abandoned to open a long coda that attempts to mimic a process of previous development without precise application or suggestion of the main themes.

Dance (2019)

performed by Aleksandra Juszczak, Magdalena Kołcz-Wrzesien (violin)
Premiere: May 27, 2019, Joseph Haydn-Saal, Wien, AT

The introduction is based on the timbre of the notes, with the same note played on different strings. The two violins react to each other indirectly through the echo and touch each other from a distance in a heartfelt interplay. At first, the developing dialogue of two voices is an inner dance that gradually opens up and is expressed through increasingly lively movement. The dance is first light and agile, then energetic and wild. The scenes are changing, and two voices are constantly looking for ways to express their common movement.

Allegro giocoso
for orchestra (2018)

peformed by North Czech Philharmonic, Petr Vronský (conductor)
Premiere: May 25, 2018, Teplice, CZ

This work is based on the rhythmic reflections of the various instrumental groups, which playfully vary. In terms of style, the Sinfonietta takes its cue from the work of the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, especially his balancing of the fantastic, even surrealistic, while at the same time maintaining the rationality of the form.
