The dark brooding intensity of the C minor Adagio gives way to an unconventional Scherzo, set for the most part, unusually, in common time. The initial five-note motif pays tribute to Shostakovich, and recurs persistently in a variety of developed guises, gaining in intensity as the piece progresses. A variety of cello techniques are used, including harmonics, which bring the work to an unexpected conclusion.
