About this piece
A five-minute solo commissioned by The Primavera Project for Matt Haimovitz in response to Charline von Heyl's painting Primavera 2020. The composer describes spring as a time of transition and new growth; the score works as a cosmological map with directional visual elements, connecting lines and cosmic imagery that guide the player between sets of harmonic and timbral material, with the instruction to 'always be moving between'. Haimovitz recorded it on Primavera I: The Wind (Pentatone, 2021), and the score is published in Oxingale Music's Primavera I compilation with his fingerings and bowings.
Technical overview
Graphic, map-like score with visual guides for moving between harmonic and timbral materials; Haimovitz's performance edition supplies fingerings, bowings and other suggestions.
