Viola solo

Solo piece for viola (2019).

The starting point of the piece Viola solo was an oppressive emotion that grows and becomes intolerant. What is after the last straw? Mist, dust, fragments. Is it possible to grow something from them? The sound of viola is experimented with in extremes: as noise, in high registers, and by breaking the sound. The instrument enables a vast spectrum of dark tones, the scale of negative emotions.
