Sonnenwende (Score + Parts)

Sonnenwende è un'opera concepita, dal compositore Paolo Cattaneo, per Armonica cromatica e Pianoforte, ma eseguibile anche per Oboe o Clarinetto, e Pianoforte.

Sonnenwende, solstice, an event that marks the time of the apex seasons: summer and winter. Thus, in the Heraclitean sense, harmony of opposites in which the cycle is generated  vital nature and where man manifests himself in his 'being there'.

A piece whose atmospheres evoke the essentiality of the 'world of life', where the initial theme is followed by various episodes, even contrasting ones, in order to find a conciliatory balance through a sort of reprise with a formal sonatistic feel.

A watercolour with soft hues, sometimes more pronounced and incisive, even strong, in which the tonality fades to accommodate the multiple emotional trajectories of changing moods, not without nostalgic sound reminiscences.
