... si tratta di tre movimenti piuttosto brevi, dai quali traspare una sottile ironia ed una interessante voglia di comunicare: non si aspettino, gli ascoltatori e gli esecutori, pagine di contenuti criptici e filosofici, ma giochi di suoni che rapiscono l’ascoltatore disattento e lo conducono, con fantasia e arguzia, in un mondo di immagini colorate, dove talvolta si danza e in altri momenti ci si sofferma a riflettere, ma sempre con una natura disinvolta. La scrittura è sorretta da una buona tecnica compositiva e la partitura, edita da Ut Orpheus, è corredata da segni ed articolazioni che esplicitano il pensiero dell’autore in modo chiaro ed inequivocabile.
