Cloches II
(1990)
for 2 Pianos

Cloches II, for two pianists and two percussion players was written in 1990 on a commission of the "Banchi Nuovi" Art Gallery in Rome on the occasion of Lucia Romualdi's exhibition. It is dedicated to Bruno Canino and Antonio Ballista. As its title suggests, it is a re-elaboration of the musical material of Cloches for two pianos, two percussion and ten wind instruments (1988) in which the material of the score this work originated from are condensed, widened, summarized, manipulated, reduced and screened. The sound resulting from this operation is essentially the same; the only difference is a formal respiration in which the two pianos and percussion are the only protagonists of the same form.
