Antiparathesis : for solo violin and orchestra, 2001/2002 / Dimitris Andrikopoulos
Description:
Program note (English): 'Antiparathesis' (Contradistinction) is a piece that I worked on last two years of my studies. I was always fascinated by the orchestra as a living organism and its inner dynamism. In Antiparathesis I tried more to explore these dynamics and their relationship to an external element, the solo violin. A relationship varying throughout the piece, being mainly the solo violin as an observer, sometimes commenting, agreeing and other times trying to survive the even brutal forces of the orchestra. This antithetic relationship I tried also to use in the form of the piece with sections contradicting each other, arriving to the core of the piece, the part of the solo Violin with percussion, a section that replaces the traditional Cadenza. Even with this part reminding to a Cadenza, Antiparathesis doesn't have the form of a traditional Violin concerto. After this section, the violin is the main character, the narrator that tells his story. But this is also not for long, the orchestra
takes over and the only thing that remains for the solo to survive is a scream. - DIMITRIS ANDRIKOPOULOS
