| Description |
|---|
| Cantilena is a mood piece composed in a lyrical, virtuosic style. It constantly weaves through various tonalities but without settling in any one in particular. In a way it emulated a free, almost improvisatory style and allows the performer to take certain liberties with a fluctuating tempo. It was especially composed for saxophonist Stathis Mavrommatis who also gave its premiere March 15, 2008 at Parnassos Concert Hall in Athens, Greece. |
