Reflections – a violin concerto

Have you ever noticed during moments of quiet reflection, how our thoughts might start a certain point in time and end up somewhere completely different? Furthermore, our mood during these reflections may also change, depending on how deep we want to immerse ourselves in our meditation

 

From a composition point of view, this is a very interesting subject and can be used as a tool to manipulate melodic development.

I took these ideas and orchestrated them into a violin concerto I am writing for my mentor, the brilliant virtuoso violinist Marat Bisengaliev
