About the work

“Salute” is an homage to previous twentieth century composers. Listeners may recognise a theme from Hindemith, for example.

Technical notes

The piece begins slowly and ethereally and builds to a fast, driving rhythmic conclusion which the performers should play as fast as possible – with abandon.
