Piano solo

Programme note

Often the composition process in my piano music starts from an idiomatic idea. Starlight (2023) started from the materialisation of a recurring improvisation since my teenage years based on soft repeated B major scales, creating a mysterious, calm and meditative atmosphere. I called it Starlight to reflect the music’s calm and celestial quality. The title conveys two aspects of this work: firstly, a glistening starlight from afar (the mysterious, magical and calm passages); and secondly the sheer magnitude of the stars. An underlying musical idea is the pain of two clashing notes.
