Comments

"A violinist plus 13 stringed instruments. Based on this premise reflected in the title, this small concert was created at the request of the XIII International Music Festival of Barcelona in 1975. Its three movements, very different, do not represent a renunciation total to the classicist structures, but they escape the endangered formulas. It is planned that the score can be interpreted with the extended instrumental formation acting as the conductor of the ensemble's solo violin."
