After many years of composing highly advanced pieces both technically and musically demanding, I felt the need to write something considerably simpler in form and language. This composition was bent on the idea of creating something not only for professional guitarists, but also for those still studying at secondary school level.

Little Sonata (titled inspired by Paul Hindemith’s “Kleine Sonate” for cello and piano) is an easy four-movement short composition, leaning on the form of the sonata and kept in the tonal post-classical and neo-romantic language. It was inspired by the cycle for solo piano Impromptus Op . 9 by Franz Schubert.

Written entirely on the piano and later ‘adapted’ for the guitar – it explains the highly pianistic chordal structures and harmonies that dictate the structure of the whole work. It was nevertheless composed with simplicity and ease for the guitar in mind.

This work is dedicated to my friend and great guitarists Krzysztof Pełech.

Marek Pasieczny

Among 83 composers ,120 submitted works from 12 different countries Pasieczny’s “SEQUENZA” for solo guitar got 2nd prize. Pasieczny was the only non-American composer awarded this year at this International Composition Competition.

“(…) Marek Pasieczny is still very young, but already one of the most important guitarists-composers-musicians from our time. The Flight of Kikuidataki’ is beautiful! It is a piece full of sound and the guitar must be grateful to you for writing such a piece. Thank you also”, CARLO DOMENICONI – guitarist and composer (Berlin, Germany; May 2011)

“Kikuidataki is the name of the smallest Bird in Japan and the World’s smallest hummingbird of its kind. The native script is “King birds”. Kikuidataki is characterized by its yellow crown crest. I strived to capture and imitate its movements through sonoristic and colouristic effects. In depicting the Japanese impression, the main melody was inspired and based on the Japanese melody “Itsuki no komuriuta” (Lullaby of Itsuki).

This piece is dedicated to my friend and inspirational guide Carlo Domeniconi”. Marek Pasieczny (Pretoria, South Africa; May 2011)

‘STRING QUARTET NO.I’ “subtitled  “The Concerto”

1. Moderato Magnifico  2.Vasto Quieto  3. Presto con fuoco

THE WATSON QUARTET: Ian Watson, Alan John, Mary Ward and Christoff Johannes Fourie

This is my first piece for string quartet. I started to write this quartet in 2007, but finally finished it a few weeks ago. It is in an adapted ‘small’ concerto form (fugue and cadenzas in 1st movement, impressionistic slow 2nd movement and ‘furious’ finale in 3rd movement).

The atmosphere created by the music should pay tribute to some of the great string quartet writing done before me (starts with Haydn and Mozart and ends with Shostakovich, Lutoslawski and Bartok).

Special thanks to Bede Williams for recording and EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to Ian, Alan, Mery and Christoff. I am privileged as a composer to have such good instrumentalists/musicicians at my desposal.
