Plath, S., for cello and double bass

'Oh, I love now, with all my fears and forebodings, for now I still am not completely moulded. My life is still just beginning. I am strong. I long for a cause to devote my energies to.' This quotation of the writer Sylvia Plath who committed suicide in 1963 at the age of 30, is added by Helmut Oehring to his composition. Originally written for two violas, the piece has now been rearranged for deep-toned instruments by the composer who is an expert in musically describing extreme states of mind.
