About this piece
Invierno ('Winter') is a single-movement piece of about five minutes for cello and piano, composed in 2000 and dedicated to Fernando Trigueros; it was first performed in 2013. Marked Largo, molto calmo e profondo, it is a simple, tranquil song in D minor and 6/8 over a rocking piano accompaniment. The free edition includes the main cello part, an easier cello part that can also be played on double bass, and a viola part.
Technical overview
A slow, flowing line of eighth notes in 6/8. The outer sections stay low in bass clef, and the middle section (bars 64–106) moves into tenor clef and the upper positions, with long tied notes over the piano's rocking accompaniment. The edition's easier part stays in bass clef throughout.
