No.31A (Schnell aber nicht immer) became the first movement of
No.30 (NONcerto for orchestra, cell, and soprano) when the Aldeburgh
Festival commissioned a further two movements, and thus completing
the piece. It was first performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo, with Anu Komsi and Anton Lukoszevieze
as the soprano and cello soloists respectively. "The Soprano
finds fragments of a melody which she eventually sings together
with the orchestra. The cello is unable to communicate. He is alone."
