about

for two violins

Peter Sheppard Skærved & Mihailo Trandafilovski

ARC-EN-CIEL (2013) was written for Peter Sheppard Skærved and myself, and first performed at the British Museum in London. The two of us have played together in the Kreutzer Quartet, and as a duo, for about eight years. One of our most performed pieces is Scelsi’s Arc-en-ciel – a fantastically economical piece, in which most of the material gravitates between D5 and E5. I took the opposite approach: ‘white’ comes from the natural resonance of pure fifths (the tuning of the instrument), splitting in colors as the fundamental gives rise to the harmonic spectrum. Similarly, a single bow stroke leads to techniques that showcase some expressive possibilities of the instrument. The title of the piece also refers to the overall shape/structure, arc-like both in terms of harmony, and phrasing.
