Panta Rei (101.Piano) (Neuheit Ensemble)

Panta Rei (101.Piano) (Neuheit Ensemble) Juraj Filas is a composer whose writing is characterized by strong lyrical expressiveness and a constant dramatic tension. Panta Rei (everything flows) belongs to this aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the Heraclitean principle of perpetual motion. The work is written for trumpet, trombone, and piano, a trio that offers a balance of power, virtuosity, and harmonic density. From the very first bars, the musical discourse evokes a continuous, almost inexorable flow, in which themes are constantly transformed. The trumpet brings brilliant and incisive gestures, while the trombone enriches the sonic fabric with depth and warmth. The piano acts as a rhythmic and harmonic engine, structuring tensions and propelling the motion forward. The ensemble plays on contrasts between singing lyricism and more turbulent episodes. The dramatic dimension is reinforced by highly contrasted writing, alternating instability and moments of suspension. Panta Rei thus becomes a musical reflection on time, change, and the impermanence of forms.
