{"content":"\n    <div class=\"detail-content\">\n        \n        <strong>About work:</strong> <p>Sonata for Double Bass and Piano (2001) was composed for Duo Šašina by Ilja Zeljenka at a time when he was concentrating prevailingly on chamber works. The two movement composition reflects each of the parameters on the composer's original and at the same time 'transparent' language which formed and codified itself manily in recent decades. Symptomatic is the interval sketch, based on 'thight' steps, as well as a rich, often asymmetric rhythmic and metrical structure, with clear contours. In addition to it, there are steep changes and contrasts, and, above all, individual humour with a flavour of spicy sarcasm... Put briefly, that is all written into the Sonata's organism from which, however, alongside the master's orderliness, we hear mainly Music in its purest substance and liveliness.</p><br>\n        <em>(Lýdia Dohnalová, in: booklet of the CD \"Slovak Music for Double Bass and Piano,\" Diskant 2008)</em><br>\n        <br>\n        <p>\n            <strong>Movements:</strong><br>\n\n                Larghetto, ma energico\n                9'\n                <br>\n\n                Epilogue.
