for piano, violin, viola and woodblocks
Premiered by the OpenScore Ensemble at the HfM Trossingen concert hall in 2025, YGD_1 explores tension, instability, and the beauty found within controlled chaos.
The work opens with a playful, hyperactive theme that quickly collapses into a rhythmically shifting duel between piano and percussion. While the underlying structure remains steady, shifting groupings and rhythmic modulations create a sense of changing meter without altering the beat.
The final chord, a clear D in the piano interrupted by a D# in the violin, is a deliberate musical gesture, that highlights the idea that even with full effort, perfection is not always attainable, and that imperfection is part of the artistic experience.
