Portrait – for solo violin
VISION OF THE WORK
For this short, elegiac piece, each player is invited to imagine a portrait of their choice. Musically inspired by contrasting works such as ‘Portrait for Tracy’ by jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Sarabande in D minor, it is programmed as a compulsory piece at the 2014 PACEM IN TERRIS Bayreuth International Music Competition.
