Subito is is a composition for violin and piano written in 1992 by the Polish composer Witold Lutosławski. The work was commissioned by Joseph Gingold for the 1994 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis.[1]
History[edit]
Lutosławski had learned the violin as a child and in 1984 had been inspired to compose for the violin by the playing of Anne-Sophie Mutter. The title ‘Subito’ has been associated with its 'out of the blue' start and abrupt mood changes. The piece’s turbulent nature may also reflect his own emotional turmoil, as he had been recently diagnosed with the cancer that prevented him from completing a violin concerto for Mutter.[1]
Analysis[edit]
The opening few bars of the piece form a refrain that alternates four times with varied episodes. With each repeat the refrain gets shorter and the episodes more complex. A long high trill marks the climax and the piece ends with another version of the refrain.
A typical performance lasts around 4 minutes.[1]
