About This Song
About "Cello Sonata No. 1 in F Major, Op. 5, No. 1: II. Allegro" by Alessio Bax
Here the allegro crackles with Baroque urgency, Bax's piano a flickering engine of ornament and drive. The cello line feels like a rope pulled taut between courtly grace and sudden, sharp attack. There's a tension in the phrasing—polite on the surface, but the rhythm keeps threatening to bolt.
