About Song and Dance

Song and Dance is a lovely textured piece with a beautiful dialogue between the viola and piano. The piece begins with a lyrical sense of determination, inviting the listener to a journey of introspection and self-discovery. Almost like a drawing of medieval scenery, the viola and piano observe the inner and outer, within and without, embracing all that surrounds. A viola cadenza is unveiled and a melancholy piano interlude unfolds which is followed by a darker atmosphere. There is an air of reflection, with all its ebbs and flows, efforts and struggles, and the piece concludes with a happy dance of acceptance and resolution, like life itself.
