Work composed for the Lisbon Clarinet Quartet, at the request of Luís Gomes
Notes
Composed for the Lisbon Clarinet Quartet, at the request of Luis Gomes. The première had to be postponed twice, and life took its course. I believe in this work, it is waiting for its moment.

Program Notes
Given the excellent level of the Quartet that commissioned the work, I did not contain my imagination with regard to the group's rhythmic and timing difficulties. The complex mixture of modal and atonal material that characterizes my music causes this rhythmic complexity. The second movement is, for me, sad and dense – a dithyramb to someone who has already left.
