    Program Notes
    Whenever I hear the word nightmare, I often associate it with being chased around by demons or being part of some kind of wild apocalyptic scenario, but the nightmares that I find the most impactful are the ones closest to reality. The nightmare represented in this piece is not that of monsters but more of remembering or reliving something terrible that happened to you. The culmination of this nightmare is represented in the climax towards the end of the piece, followed by the thunderous chords in the piano and the aching swells played by the flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. The wistful chords arpeggiated by the piano at the very end are to represent finally waking up and finding solace in knowing that the dream was just a dream, the past is just the past, and it’s all going to be okay.

    Usually not really a fan of contemporary classical music. But this, this is a gem. This piece shows perfectly how technical extensions should be used, when composing with them. Bravo

    Beautiful, and an incredible performance on top of that. 3:19-4:00 might be one of my favorite sections in any modern piece.

      Look who’s talking about being pretentious-Ethan has written an excellently and thoughtfully crafted work and description and here you come with a completely vapid criticism. Learn intellect and compassion, not thoughtlessness and cruelty.

      @@Whatismusic123Again, a wholly vapid response. It’s obvious that you are projecting your own intellectual insecurities on strangers on the internet; I hope you learn to move through them.
