Allegro moderato About The Restless Villads’ composition is based on the play De Hvileløse (2001) by Eva Littauer, which tells the story of a family’s formation and brutal downfall in three scenes. The instruments represent the play’s three characters. Although the characters have different names in each scene, they portray the same roles: the embittered man (cello), the depressed wife (violin) and the young, restless son (piano).
