Nidi for solo piccolo
Nidi for solo piccolo
F. Donatoni: Nidi for solo piccolo was written in 1979, and its based on a three-note cell, to which more and more pitches are added, thus resulting like the twittering of a bird. As Donatoni described this composition: “I picture the piccolo as a cute little bird building its nest.”
