Composition
This composition takes approximately 30 minutes to perform. The movement list is as follows:[3]
- Allegro moderato
- Larghetto
Given its very unusual nature, for Penderecki's chamber music is rare, the melodic lines of this composition are very well defined, because Penderecki usually writes scores for large orchestras and ensembles. This work is remarkable for its chromatic scales, present all along the piece.[2]
This sextet was commissioned by Auftragswerk der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and was eventually premiered on June 7, 2000 in Vienna's Musikverein by Paul Meyer (clarinet), Radovan Vlatkovic (horn), Julian Rachlin (violin), Yuri Bashmet (viola), fellow musician Mstislav Rostropovich (cello), and Dmitri Alexeev (piano).[1][4]
