Rhythmically and emotionally mercurial, “Idée Fixe” is written in one movement, with contrasting sections joined seamlessly in a narrative arc of approximately 15 minutes. A persistent rhythmic idea is obsessively reworked and revisited, a constant through the many abrupt shifts of mood. The audience is invited but not required to imagine a more concrete story line.
