to the violin concerto by Gyorgy Ligeti. Par ADES THOMAS.

That melody (distant voices) is played within an extremely slow tempo, and the notes which form the melody gain different textures by becoming disassembled, and played by different techniques. In our daily lives, our inner voices become concealed by our daily customs. The act of c…
