Invece is a contemporary classical composition by French composer Pascal Dusapin. The piece was composed in 2001 and premiered on March 7, 2002, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. Invece is a work for orchestra and features three movements. The first movement, titled "Lento," is characterized by a slow and mournful melody that is played by the strings. The movement gradually builds in intensity, with the addition of brass and percussion, before reaching a climax and then fading away. The second movement, titled "Allegro," is much more lively and energetic than the first. The movement features a fast and complex rhythm that is played by the entire orchestra. The movement is marked by sudden shifts in tempo and dynamics, which create a sense of tension and excitement. The final movement, titled "Lento," returns to the slow and mournful melody of the first movement. However, this time the melody is played by the woodwinds and is accompanied by a soft and delicate accompaniment from the strings. The movement gradually builds in intensity, with the addition of brass and percussion, before reaching a powerful climax. Overall, Invece is a complex and challenging work that showcases Dusapin's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its use of shifting tempos and dynamics, as well as its intricate melodies and harmonies. The work is also notable for its use of unconventional orchestration, with Dusapin often using instruments in unusual ways to create unique and unexpected sounds.
