Azevedo, S :: 5 Pequenas Pecas [5 Small Pieces]

Sergio Azevedo presents 5 Pequenas Pecas (5 Small Pieces) for flute, bassoon, piano. In five movements - Burletta, Tarantela, Gavota, Valsa, Finale - the trio mimics an old dance suite in an almost Martinu- or Prokofiev-esque style. Complex, difficult, yet playful writing and exquisite voice balancing round out this work.

From the composer:

'I wrote the 5 Little Pieces at the request of a trio of ESML, so that this work is inserted in a vast number of other pieces with the same objective: to provide repertoire for less usual ensembles that, for that reason, do not usually have much available. Notwithstanding the utilitarian purpose, and since I never write music just to write, I hope that these curated pieces give some moments of auditory pleasure to those who experience them and to those who play them.'
