Sonatina

Written in 2006, this piece is divided into three contrasting and brief movements. Each of them is preceded by a slow introduction, revealing a slow “à la Bartók” motif, which varies progressively over the three movements. The first and third movements are predominantly rhythmic compared to the second, which has the structure of a light-hearted rondo. The musical motifs in this piece are related to others that appear in various productions by the composer, such as the Alborada de noite e de luz or Juguetes. The composer manifests his clear intention to contribute to chamber music in a duo formation that is as interesting as it is uncommon.
