1812 Chamber

Minor-key neoclassical chamber piece at 88–96 BPM. Silver-toned pianoforte leads with arpeggios and terse motifs; driving cello ostinato anchors the low end. Violin and viola trade tense counterlines while the flute floats above with lyrical, slightly haunted phrases. Dynamics swell from hushed, suspenseful openings into sharp, accented climaxes, then collapse back to a delicate, eerie close., cello, string quartet
