Il Malincolico, for Oboe, Horn, and String Trio (2015)
The title of this piece means “the melancholic one.” This feeling of pensive sadness mixed with longing is evoked by two contrasting musical ideas: the passionate rushing figure which begins the piece and the drawn out song melody first heard in the horn. Below the horn melody, the strings maintain a bustling texture, highlighting the emotional intensity of the melody.
