Soliloquy
Soliloquy
Violin
Soliloquy (2000) is a work which continues Wilson’s exploration of style modulation. The work travels between two stylistic regions. Along the way tonality itself gradually emerges and then evaporates. In Soliloquy the style to which the work moves, the goal and climax of the piece, is that of a composition for unaccompanied violin from the baroque era. Although it uses no Bach quotations, it is an homage to the Sonatas of Partitas of J.S. Bach. From the standpoint of the theatrical aspects of the work, one might consider Soliloquy as a performance by a single musical protagonist alone on the stage. With no other actors present for dialog and interaction, the sole direction that the drama can take is into the tragic core of the character being portrayed. The work was written for Wilson’s friend and colleague, David Salness.
