Ouverture Coriolan Op. 62

About this work

Coriolan begins with cutting chords separated by silence. A more lyrical motif answers this violence, yet calm remains fragile: the two characters interrupt, transform and return without ever reaching a lasting compromise.

The form becomes clear when these two families of gestures are followed instead of a succession of dynamics. Locate returns of the nervous motif in the bass and the way strings direct the more singing phrases. Every silence then changes function.

In rehearsal, agree precisely on the duration and resonance of the opening chords. Lyrical passages need to retain a pulse beneath their flexibility. The ending withdraws instead of seeking a final triumph: preserve that extinction and the quality of the quietest attacks.
