Arias (2), Op. 92b is a composition for solo guitar by French composer Francis Kleynjans. The piece was composed in 1992 and premiered the same year. It consists of two movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, marked Andante, is a lyrical and expressive aria. It begins with a simple melody played in the upper register of the guitar, accompanied by a gentle arpeggio in the lower register. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, building in intensity as it progresses. The middle section of the movement features a more complex and virtuosic passage, showcasing the technical abilities of the performer. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played softly and delicately. The second movement, marked Allegro, is a lively and energetic aria. It begins with a fast and rhythmic melody played in the lower register of the guitar, accompanied by a driving bass line. The melody is then repeated with variations, incorporating more complex rhythms and harmonies. The middle section of the movement features a series of rapid arpeggios and scale runs, showcasing the performer's technical abilities. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played with even greater energy and intensity. Overall, Arias (2), Op. 92b is a challenging and rewarding piece for solo guitarists. It showcases Kleynjans' skillful use of melody, harmony, and rhythm, as well as his ability to create contrasting moods and textures within a single composition.
