Theme and Three Variations on a Dodecaphonic Series

Alessandro Stella's debut as a composer, written in the early 2000s and performed here for the first time. Built on an original twelve-tone series, the work reflects a long familiarity with the aesthetics of the Second Viennese School — Schönberg, Berg, Webern.

Coinciding with this release, the score was published by Universal Edition, the historic Viennese publishing house that has been home to the Second Viennese School and, today, to Arvo Pärt.
