Due sentenze, for mezzo soprano, oboe d'amore and piano, Score and parts

Austrian composer Luna Alcalay drew her inspiration for this piece from two of Leonardo da Vinci's philosophical reflections, which she has set for the unusual combination of mezzo-soprano, oboe d'amore and piano. The subtle interplay of the two voices, and the short, colourful pianistic gestures that punctuate this sustained conversation, reveal a musical mind of singular depth and imagination.
