In the final year of my Doctorate, I thought it would be nice to write a piece as
homage to the composer I have spent so many hours researching. I have been mainly focusing on Lutosławski’s use of aleatoric counterpoint but have found a unique language among his more metered works. In particular the Partita for Violin and Piano, I was drawn to the relatively simple lines and rhythms threading their way through the musical narrative. The piece is use the first movement of the Partita as a starting point whilst sharing some of the same characteristics.
