Classical/Orchestral Music

Saint-Saëns & Tchaikovsky

Le Cygne

NON POSSO

19 Akt II Szene 3 Part 3 Bridge

“Born from Memory” — a cinematic journey between silence and sound.
Originally written for film, this music was reborn for orchestra — one voice carried by the warmth of the piano, and another whispered through the breath of the clarinet.

Each version tells the same story through a different time:
the piano orchestration embodies timeless elegance and quiet emotion,
while the clarinet version reflects a modern pulse — alive, questioning, and intimate.

A dialogue between memory and hope.
Between what fades… and what refuses to disappear.



«وُلدت من الذاكرة» — رحلة سينمائية بين الصمت والصوت.
موسيقى وُلدت في عالم الصورة، ثم عادت للحياة بين أنفاس الأوركسترا — مرةً بدفء البيانو، ومرةً بنَفَس الكلارينيت الحديث.

كل نسخة تروي الحكاية ذاتها، بلغة زمن مختلف:
نسخة البيانو تنبض بالأناقة الكلاسيكية والعاطفة الهادئة،
فيما تُجسّد نسخة الكلارينيت نبض العصر — حيّة، متسائلة، حميمية.

إنها حوار بين الذاكرة والأمل،
بين ما تلاشى… وما لا يزال يُسمَع في الأعماق.

Distant Shades

First Loves
Tim Fain, violin
Robert Koenig, piano

First Loves is a collection of quintessential violin masterpieces which first inspired me to be a violinist. Includes showpieces by Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, Wieniawski, and more, plus “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
As a kid, I was surrounded by classical, pop, rock, jazz, film and contemporary concert music – finding a balance of old and new music is still very important to me. Many of the works on First Loves are the ones that drew me in as a child – Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, and Wieniawski, arrangements by Heifetz, and Kreisler – and remain profoundly relevant today. I’ve also included “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which I made after my work on-camera and on the soundtrack of the film Black Swan. Each track is dedicated to someone who inspired me or made it possible for me to be the person and the artist that I am today. My hope is that First Loves will inspire others, young and old, to fall in love with the violin as I did.
