Why arrange Boccherini concertos? To bring out the colours, rhythms, dances, melodies and countermelodies. To reinvent our roles or to exchange them like a game, from one page to another. To make us feel as if we’re on a tightrope. To take advantage of the space of freedom provided by the cadenza to imagine little musical scenarios, stories within the story. Like dreams that have their own logic, their own timescale. So those dreams suddenly yet imperceptibly plunge us into repetitive music, a procession in Spain, a jazz cadenza, an opera… and then we emerge to be reunited with Boccherini, who seems to be the first to enjoy these escapades.’ – Sonia Wieder-Atherton Concertos G479, 477, 476 by Luigi Boccherini. Cadenzas by Sonia WiederAtherton ‘in the footsteps of Miles Davis’, Eric Dolphy, G. F. Handel, Igor Stravinsky, György Kurtág, Michael Riesman.
Then it came to me: Dreams. Dreams that would transition – without one perceiving the change – towards a repetitive music, a procession to a land of illusion, an improvisatory jazz ‘cadenza’, an opera, or Kurtag’s suspended universe. Dreams arising from the music of Boccherini, dreams that would have their own logic, their own sense of time. Dreams one would be afraid of forgetting on waking the following morning, once Boccherini had been rediscovered. Bit by bit, I began to confuse night and day, and Boccherini and the dreams mingled together, suffused by a special kind of lighting in which day imperceptibly turned into night: and so Cadenza was born. Sonia Wieder-Atherton
