Fantasia for Solo Violoncello (2003) seeks to reconcile two opposing ideas.
The first is a short agitated theme based on [0,1,7,10]. The second idea is
a lyrical theme based on a synthetic multi-octave whole-tone scale. The
piece is constructed along the lines of a sonata form. Through the
development process, elements of both ideas are combined to form a brief
quotation from the Prelude of the Bach G-Major Cello Suite. The quotation is
then developed and eventually consumed by the continuing conflict between
the two opposing elements.
