Martin Lotz – Violin Concerto: I. Part 1

Part 1 of Martin Lotz’s Violin Concerto introduces the fundamental musical material of the work and establishes its core aesthetic: a tension between linear clarity, timbral refinement, and a harmonic language shaped by gradual transformation. The solo violin emerges as a directing force within the ensemble, moving between fragile introspection and controlled propulsion.

The piece explores orchestral texture, dynamic contouring, and the interplay of timbre and gesture, with the solo part functioning both as protagonist and structural anchor. Throughout this section, the ensemble develops shifting fields of resonance, creating a sonic environment in which the violin line can expand, contract, or dissolve into the surrounding texture.

This recording presents an excerpt from the ongoing composition process. It is intended for musicians, composers, conductors, theorists, and listeners interested in contemporary composition, orchestration, and 21st-century violin repertoire. Score-based listening is recommended for a deeper understanding of voice-leading, instrumental spacing, and timbral transitions.
