Verkkommentar av tonsattaren:Under 2004-2005 komponerade jag en cellokonsert for Mats Lidstrom. Samarbetet kring solostamman var intensivt i langa perioder vilket gav manga ideer och infallsvinklar samt god insikt i strakinstrumentens klangvarld och tekniska mojligheter. Det var darfor helt naturligt att med utgangspunkt fran de tva solokadenserna i cellokonserten aven komponera ett soloverk for Mats. Expose ar skrivet i en sats men har klart urskiljbara delar. Fran den langsamma inledningen arbetar sig stamman igenom alltmer dramatiska och animerade partier for att till slut explodera i den snabba slutdelen.Rolf Martinsson

The sound of the cello in this piece should be foggy like voice of Ella Fitzgerald. Sweet, smooth and pleasant, but at the same time slightly hoarse, rustle, dirty. There are almost only natural harmonics; either single, or in chords (triple-stops) including two natural harmonics, or double-stops of two harmonics. All should be played flautando, sul tasto and molto lasciar vibrare. Flautando and sul tasto should serve in search for the foggy color - harmonics should speak less clear than normally, but more smooth and decent.(Martin Smolka) ,Like Ella' would be suited to a player of a high standard as many harmonics are in higher positions and played as triple-stops. I would recommend ,Like Ella' to an advanced cellist seeking to learn a piece of modern music to add to their concert repertoire.(Mitchell Smith, AUSTA Stringendo)Compulsory Piece for the Final Round of the ARD International Music Competition (Munich, September 2019).
