Short Cuts  was commissioned by the Apollo Saxophone Quartet in 2003/4 and was originally scored for two sopranos, one tenor and one baritone. This new version, however, asks for a different scoring of two Soprano Saxophones, one Tenor Saxophone, one Baritone Saxophone and Percussion (Vibraphone and Marimba).  The work’s main purpose is to play with two possible meanings for " Short Cuts ". That is, both with the idea of sharp and cutting musical gestures and the idea of taking a different, shorter, path to reach a specific destination. But, most of all, it was written thinking of the wonderful sonority and the rare qualities of the ASQ, to whom thework was dedicated.
