Silenzioso, for solo cello

This short piece was specially composed for cellist Mirel Iancovici who premiered it during a cello festival in Zutphen, the Netherlands, in August 2015. He played it again in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in December 2015.

The one-minute piece is meant to help the audience meditate during a “minute of silence,” but not soundlessness. Among the many Italian phrases that tell how instrumentalists should perform a piece, Silenzioso is the least frequently used by composers, indeed.

This is Silenzioso recorded by Mirel Iancovici in August 2015. (If the video does not show in your internet browser, try this link.) The one-minute piece is followed by other short pieces performed by Mirel Iancovici during the Zutphen festival.
