Disappearing rainbows

Written to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Bartók's death, in all sections of the piece there are elements inspired by the main features of his musical language, of which I have created personal reinterpretations: the use of quarter tones has been rethought as the transformation of timbre and harmony through acoustic phenomena (complex beats and resonance effects); percussiveness is present as a rhythmic pulsation of different superimposed metrical layers; the "clusters" dissolve into the dense lines of the counterpoint; the acoustic scale that has its roots in popular music appears in the natural intonation of the horn.

Each section is based on distinctive timbral elements that, through a continuous formal transformation, dissolve, "disappear" in the next section, as if rainbows of different shapes and colors follow one another.
