Beat Furrer, Sotto Voce
interpreted by Zsombor Sidoo

Guitar made by Michael Cadiz
Audio & Video by Michael Cadiz

This relatively short guitar piece was commissioned for an anthology – titled ‘Verwegene Wege’ – of short solo or duo works written for the guitar by contemporary Austrian composers. The collection attempted to promote the language of the ‘new music’ in teaching situations.
Despite the parsimonious use of the musical material, a striking expressivity emerges through the fragmentation of the melodic lines, which is “supported” by the ‘throbbing’ accompaniment. The closing sigh gesture suggests a resting conclusion of the melody, although together with the accompaniment the listener still experiences a suspenseful ending. The concluding repetition of the Appoggiatura reinforces the dual nature of the closing sounds, leaving one with restlessness.
