The
“Variations for Orchestra”: a stout page that reveals expert use of the modern
orchestra and a clever search for instrumental effects by means of a succession
of rhythmic and tonal combinations. The strictly counterpointal presentation
unfolds in clarity and continuity, led by a calm and constructive talent that
never approaches the dry manner of many instrumental effects characteristic of
Ghedini, such as the antiquated use of brass instruments both in the unchanged
discovery of counterpointal themes and in the religious concerts, and has the
aspect of a conscious act of “Hommage” of a master.
