The Geminis Concertino was written in 2005 and dedicated to Gerard Claret and the National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra (ONCA).
The work, as its name implies, is a small-scale concerto for violin and 15 string instruments. Its score is basically a chamber piece in which the solo part never takes an overly virtuoso role. Conceived as a single movement, played without interruption, its internal construction consists of three classic sections: A, bars 1-72, B, bars 73-161, and C, from bar 162 to the end of the piece. Part B begins with the two opening measures of Bela Bartok's Violin Concerto simply as a reminder of a composer and a work that has impressed me since I was very young.I should confess that the entire Geminis Concertino has a certain Bartokian air that I attribute to the love I have always professed for this composer and that lately seems to affect me much as it did in my youth.--The author.

Comentarios del Espanol: Concertino Geminis es una obra escrita el ano 2005, que dedique a Gerard Claret y a la Orquestra de Cambra de Andorra.
La obra, como su nombre indica, es un pequeno concierto para violin y 15 instrumentos de cuerda, sin que la parte solista tome nunca un papel excesivamente virtuosistico, ya que la partitura tiene un caracter eminentemente cameristico. Concebida en un solo tiempo y, por lo tanto, interpretada sin interrupcion, su construccion interna la constituyen los tres movimientos clasicos: A, del compas 1 al 72; B, del compas 73 al 161; y C, del compas 162 al final. La parte B comienza con los dos primeros compases del Concierto para violin de Bela Bartok, simplemente como recuerdo de un compositor y de una obra que, ya desde muy joven, me impresionaron.
Debo confesar que entiendo que todo el Concertino Geminis adquiere un cierto aire bartokiano, que atribuyo al amor que siempre he profesado por ese autor y que ultimamente vuelve a estar presente, igual como lo estuvo en mi juventud.--El autor. Barcelona, marzo de 2006
