Text | Apology is a hard thing to do especially when it counts.

Apology can only qualify as one when the other party acknowledges it. The journey is unpredictable, and you can't control the outcome of it.

​

Compositionally, there are two iterations of a musical section in piano. However, violin goes through two very different journeys (or one extended journey) on top of the repeating materials in piano.

​

Certain musical elements, especially in violin, are left undecided leaving them up to performers' interpretation for expression. 

 

I invite you to make yourself comfortable, in a quiet, secure place, as you listen to this. If it's available to you, maybe close your eyes.
