BOSWORTH PLAYS CORNELL RECLERE PART 2 OF 3

Richard Bosworth premiered a contemporary work of a Swiss composer, Klaus Cornell, in Slovakia over 10 years ago. This composition, Réclère: Metaphor for Piano and Orchestra (written in 1995), was performed in Žilina with the Slovak Sinfonietta under the direction of Anthony Armoré.
In particular, Mr. Cornell uses a formal structure akin to baroque form. The movements each have titles illustrating this technique - Fantasia, Ricercar, Aria, Fugato, etc., etc. The harmonic language is expressionistic (much like the Second Viennese School of Schonberg, Berg and Webern) and the orchestration is impressionistic in design (not so far afield from Debussy and Ravel).
There is actually a programmatic aspect about this piano concerto. For those of you who have visited Switzerland, Réclère is an area of underground caverns frequented by tourists from around the world. In this vein, Klaus Cornell decided to record his musical impressions of what he experienced there. You will even hear the Alpine horn (played by the French horn) at the end of the piece.
By the way, there is a promenade theme which uses diminished scales. It takes you from cave to cave and forms a suspenseful transition to the different sections of this subterranean network. Of course, we have Mussorgsky to thank for the original idea which is seen in his Pictures at an Exhibition.
