Composer: Angelo Sturiale Title: Footprints Instrumentation: Clarinet Quartet Duration: 5 minutes Difficulty: As easy or hard as you make it Technical Issues: The score consists of a set of instructions which allow four clarinets to react to people, in streets, open-air markets, airports, and so on. Programme note: People walking do not look at their own footprints accidentally left on the ground. The music has the task of reminding them of their steps and footprints. The musicians are observers of how people behave when walking, transforming information on peoplešs walking into a performance. Like many other compositions by the composer, the piece focuses on the idea of unity of the music with the environment, so that music produced by the players is the result of feedback between them and the unpredictable expression of the sounds of things and living beings around the players.
