distant traces, for violin, viola and piano, score and parts

distant traces, für Violine, Viola und Klavier, Partitur und Stimmen

'distant traces' comes close to the genre of the piano trio in an unusual way, because the violoncello has been replaced by a viola. Created for a concert in Hamburg in remembrance of his former composition teacher György Ligeti who died in 2006, the English title can be taken literally: as a distant search for traces set to music.
