Hello everybody!
Here is a little piece written for an assignment with the theme ''Self-portrait''.
I was assigned the cello as the instrument to write for. The duration of the piece had to be approximately 1 minute.
The piece shows my most obvious characteristics: I am full of energy, but I can also be very still and I can be driven by my emotions quite a lot, haha!
The Russian title of the piece Меня зовут Мартен is, because I notice that Russian composers like Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Tchaikovksy inspire me a lot.
What do you think about the piece? Any comments on the cello writing too?
Thanks for listening!
