Completed: 2005  
Instrumentation: cello and chamber orchestra  
Premiere Location: Trinity Center, Philadelphia, PA  
Premiere Ensemble: Orchestra 2001  
Notes:

   
Liviu Marinescu’s works have received recognition in numerous festivals of new music throughout the world, and have been performed by prominent orchestras and ensembles, including the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, Czech Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic, Orchestra 2001 in Philadelphia, the National Chamber Radio and Music Academy orchestras in Bucharest, as well as the 20th Century Consort, North-South Consonance, and Archaeus ensembles.

 His debut at the Bucharest International New Music Festival when he was 21 years old, was noted by the Parisian newspaper *Le Monde de la Musique*, which described one of the concerts he co-organized with other young composers and artists as being “inventive in its evolution, content, and substance,” and promoting an “anti-conformist view.” Soon after, the Bucharest newspaper *Actualitatea Muzicala* acknowledged that Liviu Marinescu “not only has the intelligence and maturity expected from a modern artist, but also the ability to express himself through sounds in a convincing way.” In the U.S., his music has been praised by numerous publications, including *The Philadelphia Inquirer*, *Washington Post* and *Los Angeles Times*, while the critics of *The Strad*, *Strings Magazine*, and *New York Concert Review* recognized its “real expressive power and attractive rhetoric,” “majestic assertiveness,” and “startling moments.” His works have been recorded and released by *Centaur*, *Navona*, and *Capstone Records* and published by the American Society of Composers.
