Dedicated to the violinist Hiromi Kikuchi, its first interpreter in Berlin in 2005, Hipartita by Kurtág is a collection of eight different pieces not always originally for the violin – the first was for the flute, the fifth for the voice – elaborated on and brought together in a single Score.
The short Henry James novel The Aspern Papers relates to the attempts made by an American art critic to gain possession of the letters of the deceased Jeffrey Aspern, a poet venerated by him more than any other. Sciarrino wrote the music for the staging of Aspern in 1978, later bringing it together in a Suite.
