Work introduction
This short composition is based on a Japanese haiku by Jôsô. The poem reflects a deep feeling of sadness during a light snowfall.
Comissioned by the players –Jordi Torrent and Qiao Zhang- the work coincides with the recent death of Ramón Oteo, a wise professor and a family friend. He showed me how to enjoy great literature in a passionate way.
This is the reason why the piece evolves from an initial agitation to an elegiac, intimist mood, although hopefull.
The sleet falls
As if coming through the bottom
Of loneliness
Jôsô
