George Tsontakis composed his 7-minute BAGATELLE in the aftermath of his weighty STRING QUARTET NO. 4, an emotionally involving work of large proportions. To refresh himself, the composer looked to the lightness and buoyancy of Debussy for coloristic relief. Turning to Debussy as a model, BAGATELLE helped Tsontakis inherit an added “French” accent and flow in future works. BAGATELLE was left “sitting in the drawer” until John Cheek, pianist with the Omni Ensemble, premiered it in New York in April 1993.
