Chiaroscuro

The contrast between light and dark has fascinated humanity since our ability to perceive it, forming an unending duality that defines much of our existence. In this piece, I draw inspiration from the artistic term chiaroscuro, used in fine art to describe the interplay between stark light and shadow, shaping the entire composition of a painting.

Through this sonata, I seek to evoke the emotional and tonal contrasts inherent in chiaroscuro. The piece transitions between moments of somber introspection and playful lightness, inviting listeners to reflect on the duality within their own soul. By projecting colors and emotions through sound, I aim to create a musical canvas that mirrors the complexity of light and shadow in life itself.
