Score

The name of the work could be translated as "built from curves". This title reflects the main idea of the composition, which is about a permanent lack of vertical consonances, although the pitch material is homophonic. Any "upright structures" are curved, "points" are scattered, creating a complex texture. Articulation and dynamics are subject to similar movements. These elements, similarly to the pitch and rhythm, move asynchronously in relation to each other, creating crescendos, diminuendos, modulating the tone of string instruments.
