Performed by Willinger Duo.

Composers note:

RELIGIOSO was written in memory of the composer Dmitri Smirnov, who passed
away in 2020. Dmitri was my first composition teacher, with whom I studied from 2014-15, and I consider his lessons profoundly formative. He held an enormous reverence for the composers he considered “great”; primarily Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg, and Webern. It is in that spirit that I approached this piece.

RELIGIOSO

Performed by Lydia Hillerudh in a private masterclass with Magnus Lindberg and Anssi Karttunen at the Royal Academy of Music.

Limoncello

Performed by Tabea Debus (soloist), Olwen Foulkes, Kristina Greally, Katherine Jones, and Oscar Gormley.
