Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533690). Paradoxes: Sonata for Cello and Piano (1998) was written as a commission frommusicologist and cellist Larry KludgeThe conception and inspiration of this sonata had the idea of paradoxes behind it. Ouruniverse is certainly full of these paradoxes, and they range from the most practical in natureto the most highly philosophical in nature. Each of the movements in this work isparadoxical in a variety of musical ways. The movement titles present the foundation ideasfor each movement, stillness, brevity, and movement; however, those serve as only thebeginning for the paradoxes in the work. The first movement, Paradox of Stillness, openswith a statement of the main melodic theme for the work. The melody and pitches of thattheme are used in a variety of ways throughout. The second section serves as a contrast to theopening after which the opening section is recalled again for the close. The brief secondmovement, Paradox of Brevity, is a very fast moving movement for the cello and the piano.Driving rhythms and odd harmonic twists pervade the movement. The final movement,Paradox of Movement, opens with and sustains a moto perpetuo dance for almost the entiremovement with a break in the middle for a brief cadenza for the solo cello. A brief codabrings the movement to a close
