Europa 2000
Marked Ritmico and with a tempo of 144 crotchets a minute, this work begins with a declamatory four note chord. It then leads into a running quaver passage. A return of the first idea leads to a new version of the continuation before a new idea consisting of an Eb minor chord interwoven with a clashing bass line. This in turn leads into a cantabile repeat of the foregoing idea, which is extensively developed over the next 20 bars or so. A contrasting espressivo section slackens the pace somewhat before a varied recapitulation of the first section occurs. Nothing is exactly the same as before, but is recognisable as a variation of it. A considerable climax ensues before a brief run down the fingerboard and a slightly inconclusive Em chord in its first inversion brings the work to an end.
The work is certainly for the more advanced player and is quite approachable harmonically speaking with a relatively engaging four or five minutes' duration.
