Commentary
“Biga” is a two-movement work.
The first is a slow movement where each instrument has two different roles, one main and one secondary role. To differentiate these two roles, (main voice and secondary voice), are used different ways of playing and different timbral possibilities of the clarinet and piano.
The second movement, in contrast to the previous one, is a fast movement, which begins with a virtuous cadence of the clarinet and continues with a chamber play between the two instruments, in a very rhythmic and virtuous fragment for the duo.
