Teresa's dance on the red planet for violin and piano (with wineglass)

Composer: Hiller, Wilfried
Instrument: violin and piano (with wineglas)
Publisher: Schott Music
Description:
The short two-part composition refers to two persons by the name of Teresa. One of them was a beautiful Polish actress, the other the favourite model of the painter Balthus. I tried to fuse the characteristics of both female persons with each other in the merging parts. The three-line D produced by rubbing a wine glass sounds like a faraway, almost inaudible planet tone that ends with a brief sigh. Wilfried Hiller
