Sequenza XIV

Sequenza XIV is a 2002 composition for solo cello by Luciano Berio. It is the last of the Sequenzas, a series of works for solo instruments that he began in 1958 with Sequenza I. Sequenza XIV was inspired by the playing of the cellist Rohan de Saram and the geta bera, a traditional drum he learned to play during his childhood in Ceylon.
