DURATION: Approximately 5 minutes

“Coda” was written as an homage to the capricious and virtuosic finales of classic multi-movement chamber works, and aims to capture the energy and sense of finality thereof. The piece opens with a fanfare-like primary theme in the cello before transitioning to a virtuosic piano cadenza, which introduces a secondary theme that is also developed throughout the work. A slow and brooding interior theme emerges, building into a second cadenza in the violin before ending the piece with a fiery recapitulatory passage.

Coda was commissioned by the 2022 ICEBERG Institute in Vienna, Austria. It was performed at the festival by Trio Immersio.
