Comments

| Winner of the 17th International Composition Competition 'City of Tarragona'.
| Work inspired in the acoustic effect of the echo, from its minimum expression, in the way of immediate resonance, through small scale imitations till the climax of the work with a big instrumental canon between the piano and the orchestra.
