Program Notes
Enduring is a short virtuosic work for unaccompanied violin. Drawing inspiration from solo violin music of the 18th and 19th centuries, this piece showcases the bariolage technique. As such, the music gallops forward, rocking across the strings in a continual rise until forcibly spinning out of control and descending to the guttural sound of the lower register, only to attempt this rise again and again before finally ascending to its ethereal arrival.
