No.31A (Schnell aber nicht immer) became the first movement
of No.30 (NONcerto for orchestra, cello, 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."
