The first movement of Louis’ Sinfonietta draws on all his favorite stylistic elements and brings them together in a thematic piece within which they answer each other and interact. Colorful impressionism, effervescent orchestral timbres, soaring melodies and atonal wanderings are an integral part of the piece’s style, which manages to suggest the essence of the composer’s style itself.

This short action piece from the Mastaia project, in a more epic, powerful and dynamic style, reveals a compositional method based on themes and melodic cells. The entire piece calls on this element, which is one of the composer’s fundamental driving forces.
