A medium-level Violoncello solo concert, with piano accompaniment, introducing to solo styles, modal and modern scales, contemporary rhythms, and hypertonality.Born in 1954, Colette Mourey is an associate university professor, a guitarist and a pianist, a writer and a composer. For her musical research, she starts from atonal counterpoint, to develop a new musical system called "hypertonality", based on spiral scales (in amplitudes higher than the octave), allowing the reintroduction of "natural consonances" within a contemporary language. In 2012, she won the First Prize of the International Competition for Instrumentalists and Composers "Music and Earth" in Sofia (Bulgaria). From 2012 to 2014, she has been awarded by the IBLA Foundation for her works "Estudios Festivos"; "Homenaje a Manuel Ponce" (guitar) in 2012, "Variations in Memoriam" (guitar) in 2013, and "Bucoliques" (harpsichord) in 2014. She won several mondial selections, from "Fondazione Adkins Chiti: Donne in Musica", for "Abacus" (guitar), "Quintetto La Maestria" (winds and piano), "3 Variations sur l'Hymne Europ en" (winds and piano) ...
