La Follia - Vivaldi

Dmitri Shostakovich - Andante aus dem Klavierkonzert Nr.2 F-Dur

Here is the B minor piece from my 1992 suite of minor pieces. To my synaesthesic ears and mind, B minor is grey: hence a rather stark and stony musical world (with less than my usual dose of colour-enhancing modulation and chromatic harmony). Yet, I hope you will hear something of beauty and architectural elegance, notwithstanding the inclusion of some heartache.
