Description:
Microsonetto is written on CLXXI sonnet by Petrarch. ‘Micro-’ references to using microtonality, but also paying special attention to details; the work is written as an impression of a singing manner of a singer, who was a first interpreter of this work. Conceptually, the piece behaves like a ‘musical sonde’, which dives on music history and ‘excites’ its different layers (and certain concrete works indeed); quotations however are not demonstrated as a poster, but uses as a part of united vibration of single ‘music history soup’.
