cold, empty glade

cold, empty glade (2013)

for flute, piano and cello

performed by ensemble interface, adria, italy

Imagine you are following a path in the mountains, in the middle of the forest, and looking upwards you detect an elevated spot, a wide prominence. You are sure, that once the path will lead you there, you could admire a wonderful view, feeling that you are a step over the valley, a step nearer to the top. Then you hasten, or simply quicken your steps on the path, your expectations increasing. But once you are there, nothing. Landscape is no better than before, and eventually this spot was nothing special, just a section of the path like all the others, a cold, empty glade in the middle of heights.
