About the composition
Two independent movements for solo cello. Both share a developmental form and a fundamentally Romantic character.
While Meander II features natural harmonics and pentatonic allusions, Meander is characterized by major seventh chords and minor seventh chords. The performance instruction "free narration" invites individual interpretation.
These pieces are primarily intended for professional cellists and are dedicated to Anouchka Hack.
