Sonata for cello and piano was written between September and October of 2010. It is made up of three movements, each of which has unique characteristics. The first, Allegro appassionato, is monothematic, although the theme itself is presented in several ways. Following a vigorous start featuring cello cadenza, the movement is developed with a lively feel, alternating lyrical fragments with other energetic ones. Its conclusion is resounding.Meanwhile, the second movement, Quasi un lamento, is introspective and fragile. A long melody is sustained by a delicate and transparent piano accompaniment, evoking once again the theme of the first movement and concluding with a Lento of descending piano harmonies while the cello follows, in octaves, with heartfelt glissando.The third movement, Scherzando-Allegro, is a light-hearted game between the piano and the cello. The main theme is repeated once again, this time with a binary time signature. The cello uses ricochet (the rebounding of notes in a bow stroke), as well as natural and artificial harmonies in quick time. The piano part unfolds completely naturally, excluding any gratuitous artifice.The piece lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Comentarios del Espanol:El Trio Hesperia surgio gracias a la iniciativa del pianista Dani Ligorio. Fue el quien me sugirio la idea de escribir una obra para la formacion en la que intervenia, el TRIO LOM, del que tambien forman parte Joan Orpella al violin y Jose Mor al violonchelo. En poco tiempo la obra se interpreto asiduamente. Es frecuente que, cuando escribo por primera vez para un tipo de formacion determinada, en este caso el trio para piano, violin y violonchelo, realice un homenaje a la tradicion. Es lo que desee en esta primera incursion en el genero. La obra es de estructura clasica, con un lenguaje que en ciertos momentos alude a la tradicion folclorica iberica. Formalmente hay una alusion a la sonata en el segundo movimiento mientras que el primero es mas libre y anuncia los temas que apareceran mas tarde en el Allegro. --Domenec Gonzalez de la Rubia.
