Imageless Flicker

 

I wrote the piano piece on June 10, 2011, when I felt kind of lonely.

 

The beginning motif (Ostinato, repeating idea) first came into my mind naturally and later I felt it might be cool to bring the melody from Ravel’s Pavane for a Dead Princess (Pavane pour une Infante Defunte) into the music. It’s not only a fragmented combination but also a re-creation which is supposed to be something new, inspiring, and based on the memorable tune. The repeating motif created by me symbolizes the flickery appearance, and later, is melted with the sorrowful melody from Ravel, and with the approach, outlining an imperfect beauty which I look for from the work.
