This composition was created thanks to a scholarship I received from Förderverein für Kunst, Medien und Forschung e.V. Artistic director, Saule Tatubaeva, commissioned me to compose a lively and energetic piece for Piano Trio.
Despite the title suggesting otherwise, it is merely a play on words as the piece initially begins with a dark and somber tone but gradually transitions towards a more positive and uplifting
atmosphere. As the composition progresses, it evolves into a vibrant display of positivity, culminating in a dancelike sequence in 7/8 meter where the Violin and Cello take turns playing the main
melody while the Piano provides the driving force underneath.
