Time Transcending is a musical journey through the
world of violin playing. It ranges from the characteristic
universal order of Bach’s Chaconne, through
the agitating drama of the Ballade by Ysaÿe and
the motifs of Berio’s Sequenza repeating themselves
under high tension, to the ascending movement
of Paganini’s famous Caprice No. 24 through the
Rochberg Variations, suffering fragmentation like a
cubist painting. It continues with the virtuoso variations
of a melancholy Irish folksong, “The Last Rose,”
colliding onto the destructive and corrosive power of
the clockwork of Bräm, finally reaching its end in the
sounds of devotion of the last movement of Messiaen’s
“Quatuor pour le fin de Temps,” dying away at a high
altitude. Daniel Dodds
