2021-2023 STARRY NIGHT – Cello Sonata for Cello & Piano
7 minutes
“The Sonata for Cello and Piano, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s iconic painting “Starry Night” and the artist’s tumultuous state of mind during its creation, takes the listener on a journey through the serene beauty of the night sky and the deep anxiety depicted in the swirling clouds. The piece opens with a twinkling, starry theme played on the piano, accompanied by the cello’s calm and steady melody. As the music progresses, the cello increases in dynamics, mirroring the increasing turmoil in Van Gogh’s mind. Ultimately, the music returns to the serene opening theme, ending on a nostalgic note that reflects the artist’s lasting legacy.”
