“In Solitaria” for cello solo is a romance composed for Andrea Nocerino between 2018 and 2019. In one movement, “In Solitaria”, as a sailing navigation among sounds and musical figures, strive for an ideal prospect of solitary listening, in shadow, to highlight the profound sense of the formal structure of the composition. Listening to Andrea and meeting his artistic world was determining. The language of sound is an expressive way capable of embracing the suggestions and emotions that spontaneously arise among musicians. We listened to each other and I was able to create a piece in dialogue with my ideal sounds walking on the four strings of the cello. Each string is a branch to climb on, a sea to navigate in, a lot of suggestions, as in a sound diary made of fragments and wrecks of ancient reinvented Sicilian melodies, suspended lines, expanses of sound, distant echoes and waves that suddenly emerge, an aria with variations, a sailing without a predetermined, open, free destination.
