About The Destruction of a Twinkling Star

This piece is written for Violin and Piano.

Ever wondered what happen to a star when it explodes? I decided to write a short "fantasia" about this phenomenon. I decided to use the very famous opening of the Mozarts Ah vous dirai-je maman Variations for this piece. A very sweet sounding opening to a devastated effect. I have decided to use a pretty unconventional notation. I think a star is full of mystery, and you always get "surprises" when you improvise. In my music, I like to try new things! And of course, despite new things, I will always use back my own prestige extracts from some of my works. I have used an almost similar notation in my Sky 2 for piano solo, and the last movement of the Six Improvisatory Pieces for solo piano.The interval between the highest and the lowest pitch of the Mozarts Variations is a Major 6th. To get the intended transcription into my work, I "cut" the keyboard into 6 different ranges. Because the range of the violin is not as big as the piano, I "cut" the violin into 3 different ranges. If want will to realize, Mozart uses all 6 notes of the opening C major scale, and hence, I transcribe it into "chord clusters" into my work.
 
The Destruction of a Twinkling Star is dedicated to my friends Miss Lee Xin Yee and Mr Kelvin Koh.
