Surprise :
The last track of Double-je is once again dedicated to the intricate playing of two violin parts: Luciano Berio (1925 – 2003) composed the poetic 24th Duettino ‘Per Aldo’ for two violins between 1979 and 1983: each of the 34 duos was linked to a musician of deep musical interest for the Italian composer: Among them were composers like Béla Bartòk, Igor Strawinsky or Bruno Maderna, conductors like Lorin Maazel, but also different instrumentalists. Aldo Bennici, the dedicatee of the Surprise track, was born in 1918 in Palermo. As violinist and violist he premiered e.g. Berio’s Voci (for viola and two orchestras) or Naturale (for viola, percussion and band). The duettini are regarded as a kind of intimate correspondence between Berio and personalities who played a supporting and inspiring role in his musical cosmos.
