This piece was commissioned by Sabina V., a dear friend from my school days, as part of her exam at the uni. My goal was to create a musical portrait that captures her personality and spirit.
The title of the piece, "Fur Sabina", is a playful reference to the famous "Fur Elise" composition.The main theme is a musical cryptogram of the name SABINA - each letter of her name corresponds to a different note in the theme. In fact, I had a larger plan to create solo pieces for all of my former colleagues, each containing a unique reference to their name.
Through this piece, I aimed to showcase the beauty and expressiveness of the solo violin. The composition starts off with a melancholic melody, gradually building up to a more energetic and dynamic section. I incorporated various violin techniques, such as pizzicato and harmonics, to create a rich and diverse sound.
I'm thrilled to share with you a performance of "Fur Sabina" by the incredibly talented Raluca Stratulat. She brought the piece to life with her virtuosic playing and helped me to improve and perfect it. I hope you enjoy listening to her wonderful interpretation of the piece.
Thank you for tuning in!
