Betsy Jolas - Quatre pièce en marge, for cello and piano (1983) by Anssi Karttunen published on 2019-03-19T07:55:41Z Quatre pièces en marge - Four pieces on the fringe (1983) These little pieces were composed at odd moments on the corner of a kitchen table in August 1983, only a few months after my Episode cinquième. As such, they truly belong to the fringe of a rather momentous summer, hence this title. The work finally turned out to be my response to a request from cellist Michel Tournus for his collection. As a member of the Trio à cordes Français, he had premiered my Quatuor II in 1966. Written nearly twenty years later and premiered by Philippe Muller, this suite was already proof of my increasing interest in the cello. It has kept growing ever since. Music by Betsy Jolas with cello. Anssi Karttunen, cello and Nicolas Hodges, piano Genre Classical
