Epirthi

The piece opens with glissando on the strings and xylophonic sound that is achieved by muting the strings. Later in the second section, the vertical sonorities are heard gently in high, whilst attacks of low ‘F’ is heard. Exploring sonorities of this huge space carries on through the piece.

The inspiration for this piece is based on the fresco L'Ascensione (c.1305, The Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy) by Florentine artist Giotto di Bondone. Epirthi was completed in 2018. Epirthi was first performed by Youngwoo Lee at the Seoul Arts Center-Recital Hall in Seoul on 21^st of November 2020. It lasts about 13 minutes and is scored for solo piano.

It is written for Youngwoo Lee.
