  • The Viola Sonata is divided into 4 connected movements which are independently exploring possibilities of color and each instrument’s connections. The time and celebration of color  are very important in terms of shaping the Sonata’s form and the whole work’s narration. The fourth movement title is: cascadas, bosques, silencio and is a kind of summary of the overall composition’s atmosphere. Atmosphere of nature mystical places: forests, waterfalls, calm and untouched by human’s hand, endless and “pulsating with peace” places. Dedicated to Agnieszka Podłucka
