Spring Sonatina forms part of a series of works, together with the Summer Sonatina, the Autumn Sonatina and the Winter Sonatina. These works form a closed cycle within which, using distinct instrumentation but the same musical language, I try toevoke the sensations of each of the seasons: either through personal experience or the simple contemplation of the landscape.
 
Spring always seemed to me to be characterized by a Life-Death duality. A very fiery and violent season that ends up in an explosion of  light and live that brushes aside everything creating and destroying at the same time. From this idea I composed Spring Sonatina, written in two parts, Introduction (melting) and Allegro(rebirth, fight and light).

The cello starts with a melancholic and sad singing, the winter is dying. The guitar is, meanwhile, repeating a rhythmic pattern that describes the drops of water in the very first moments of the melting. Then, the guitar starts its melody, joined by the cello, and the rhythmic pattern becomes a constant and undulating movement describing small streams running down the mountains. The introduction finishes elliptically and the  Allegro starts: water runs feeding the earth and sweeping away everything. The first flowers fill the fields with colors and the cello interprets an evocative and eager melody. Theme B arrives with energy: animals are fighting in their cyclic mating ritual. Tenderness and calm come back with the first births and the warmth of the midday. Now the music shifts around power, lyricism and calm which are the essence of this season. The re-exposition arrives in a powerful coda that turns into evocative and in which I allowed myself to introduce a very small and altered fragment of Vivaldi’s Spring as a homage. The piece finishes sweetly.
