Synopsis

8 page A4 folded - loose sheets 'Although highly notated, precise, carefully structured, soundly proportioned, and while the musician is elegantly working from a nuanced, specific text, I like my music to have the feeling that it is organically being self-propelled on the spot - as if we listeners are overhearing (capturing) an un-notated, deeply musical improvisation. With VENUS ENCHANTED, I wanted to compose a short piece that 'shows off' the player's many talents: elegant soft playing, rich double stops, virtuosic music, athletic music, driving and passionate music, calm music, etc. I wanted to try to sculpt a short piece - but one with fertile variety of characters all woven together in a tightly integrated and organic composition so as to illustrate a variety of colors in sublime string playing. VENUS is the Roman goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, fertility, prosperity, victory, and desire.'
