Hello everyone😊! It's been a while since I last posted, haha. So, here's a piece on the viola accompanied by the piano. 
They are only virtual instruments, but I recently recorded it with my actual viola, and the music will be released in the hours/days following the publication of this video. Finally I created this music for nostalgic purposes.
Honestly, I'm a little disappointed with this piece because it took me a lot of time to realize it, and I think the result is rather mediocre. Fortunately, I learned a lot from it in terms of composition and discovering what I like and don't like to do in music. More pieces will be coming soon because I have already composed several, which I find much better than this one.

If you have any positive or negative opinions or comments, I am open to them. Despite this, I hope you will enjoy it, and if you do, you can support me by liking and subscribing (and even more so if you leave a comment; it always makes my day) 🤗 And especially, thank you very much for watching😘.
Enjoy!

Flight of Memories - [Viola Recording only] 🎻

This piece was partly inspired after watching the TED talk “The Neuroscience of Decision-Making: Are We Foul or Fair?” by Kimberly Papillon. Facial features, accents or just a name can change our decisions dramatically. Two equally qualified persons can be either accepted or rejected for a job due to implicit associations of their names. Accents can create unconscious bias of intelligence and competence. Facial features can skew us in our judgement of someone’s trustworthiness.

Judging can be taken at multiple dimensions. The score starts off with repetitive quarter notes before progressing in complexity. My challenge was to convey the idea “Never judge a music by the score”. I wanted the players to perceive classical Mozart as equally challenging as modern complex scores like Ferneyhough and Xenakis. I have encountered numerous complex scores involving quintuplets, septuplets etc. which are impossible to be precise and in-sync with other human players. Here, I challenge myself to limit this score to the basic rhythms: duplets, triplets and quadruplets.

Another judging dimension occurs in the performance aspect. A tight-knit duo is mandated by the precise interactions between the violinist and pianist. This creates the vision of two players as one single entity.

Judging from the opening music, the listener (with no access to the score) forms preconceived notions about the minimalistic approach of the remainder of the piece. This is similar to how we rapidly form definitive first impressions about someone from non-verbal observations. Each listener holds a different schema and judges how the music will progress - as anticipated or with surprises. My belief of the ideal would be a healthy balance of both.

Always Judging for Violin and Piano

Despite the title  "1st Violin Sonata", this sonata was one of Prokofiev's last completed works. He just started it many years before his 2nd Violin Sonata.
