This is a lot of fun. You obviously love cats.

Anna Sutyagina plays the original composition by Ennio A Paola "Tiny Ballerinas Dancing"  
Edgar Degas, one of the founders of Impressionism, was fascinated by the depiction of dance movement. Once seen, these paintings will always stay in mind. They have inspired Ennio A. Paola for his modern piano composition “Tiny Ballerinas Dancing”. In my playing I paid a special attention to the interpretation of the beauty of ballet movements that the composer put into an astonishing piano piece.

"Sunshine in the park" is a piece that captures the longing for the first warm days after the long winter. Hungry for the sun, people are drawn outside and into the city's parks. Everywhere you can hear lively laughter and see happy and relaxed faces. What a bit of sun can conjure up...

Sunshine in the Park ist ein Stück, das die Sehnsucht nach den ersten warmen Tagen nach dem langen Winter einfängt. Sonnenhungrig zieht es die Menschen nach draußen und in die Parks der Stadt. Überall hört man lebhaftes Lachen und sieht fröhliche und entspannte Gesichter. Was ein bisschen Sonne zu zaubern vermag...

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not flowing we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel. 

Step out your world and drape it round me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone.
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
Where rivers blush under the sun.

And be that as it may, still, still...
There's something inexplicable
In finding all of me could be all of you.
     
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak
And listen...


I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone.
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

if we're not one then let's be water

Shirley Ly is a self-taught contemporary classical music composer from Greenwich in London, United Kingdom, with Chinese and Vietnamese heritage. She began composing music when she was 15 and instantly fell in love with it, writing pieces whenever she feels inspired to do so for acoustic instruments. Her music has been played around half a million times across more than 100 countries around the world spanning six continents and is described to be a bridge between classical, romantic, and minimalist music with Eastern and jazz elements. She has performed her music across a variety of venues, including churches in London, and the Palace of Westminster, and will be performing in many more venues going forward.
​
She has produced two albums, Blossom (2021) and Impetus (2018), which feature 21 pieces composed for solo piano, duets, trios, and quartets. The pieces in the albums aim to capture her reflections on life experiences relating to nature (i.e., swallows' journeys to their nests, the seasons), living in London, dance, relationships with family and other loved ones, travel (i.e. to Berlin and Amsterdam), and dreams. Shirley plays the piano in all of her pieces.
   
She is currently working on her third and fourth albums, 9 Pieces About Cats and Paradise, to be released in 2023, where some of the pieces will be orchestral pieces. 9 Pieces About Cats consist of pieces inspired by her five mischievous cats in London. Paradise focuses on the beauty of the ocean and its diverse marine life. Through her experiences of swimming, diving, sailing, and surfing in the ocean, she has developed an intense admiration for the ocean. It is magnificent, refreshing, and incredibly humbling, and she hopes that her music can further emphasise its importance.  

​For Shirley, composing music helps with the discovery of self as it allows reflections to be expressed freely. She considers music to be very powerful as it can be shared, not only in a physical way where people can listen to it but in the sense that it evokes emotions, triggers memories, and makes the mind wander into an abyss of imagination. ​She sincerely hopes that her work shares in this sense with you.
