A Butterfly Emoji
Composed in 2016
Arranged for chamber ensemble in 2023. 

Originally composed in 2016 and my official opus 1, this prelude for piano was revived from my withdrawn stuff after I was quite taken by a picture of a female friend with the caption "How many butterflies are too many butterflies?" (This in turn, was a quip on a comment our Statistical Inference professor had made in class - "How much is too much?")

The music was arranged for chamber ensemble in January 2023.

A Butterfly Emoji, for chamber ensemble (2016, arr. 2023)

“Mis-en-scène ( for woodwind quartet)", coming this month!*

I am a British composer, who has studied composition privately with British composer Peter Nickol (although I am largely self-taught). I have also studied piano (privately) with concert pianist Ekaterina Shetliffe. 
My music contains elements of impressionism, and musical modernism; I have also explored 12-tone composition.
For several years now, I have been developing my own composition technique, which focuses on the liminal area between stochastic and spectral music, which I intend to use in my future compositions.

Composers who have influenced me include Schumann, Chopin, Schoenberg, and Ligeti; however my formative musical inspiration is the music of Debussy.

Recorded sounds provide a rich and extensive palette of colors and textures.  I like to glean what I can from single short samples of sound.  I particularly like squeaks and creaks.  Lately, I've become enamored with the enormous selection of vinyl records available on archive.org.

Anastasia Vinogradova was born on 2nd April 1994 in Lausanne (Switzerland).

She studied piano with Enrico Camponovo and followed the lectures of analysis and elements of composition presented by William Blank at the HEMU in Lausanne.

She continued her musical studies in the composition class (Bachelor) of Xavier Dayer at the Hochschule die Kunst Bern (HKB).  

Her current catalog includes four symphonies, four piano sonatas, three string quartets and several chamber and orchestral works.

I am a professional mathematician and an amateur pianist and composer. I have many influences but impressionism is important to many of my compositions lately.
