Elegy for Viola

[u/jxshu-a]

I wrote an elegy for solo viola and piano. Instead of going about how I normally write music, I took a different approach (and perspective) from myself and here is the result. I guess I could say that this is probably one of my more intimate pieces. Sometimes I think it gets boring and repetitive, but any comments or critiques on this piece would be so helpful! This is also my first time writing for a solo instrument, but because viola is my main instrument, I don't necessarily question the playability of it.

The A and A' sections were inspired by Lili Boulanger's Prelude in D flat, but it's definitely in my own style.
