Simone Olivari: Watson & Crick versus Kardek, for Flute (Soprano and Bass), Piano and Double-Bass

About this edition

Simone Olivari’s Watson & Crick versus Kardek is a trio for flute (doubling bass flute), piano and double bass, with an indicated duration of approximately 5 minutes 10 seconds.

In his introductory note, the composer describes the work as a paraphrase of Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio and imagines a dialogue between science and spirituality. The flute and double bass embody the opposing voices, while the piano acts as moderator, drawing their exchanges into a continuous musical flow.

The edition includes the composer’s title note in English and notation guidelines in Italian and English. If the separate instrumental parts are not included with the volume, digital copies may be requested free of charge from the publisher, as stated in the edition.
