The main objective of this string trio
composition is to show the unity which exists within the string trio. I was most
fascinated to explore string techniques transforming the trio sound to one of a
completely different instrument. That is why there is a suggestion of an
accordion sound (particularly heard at the beginning) or that of a brass
fanfare. The piece is in three inter-linking sections: reflective - lively -
stretto of the main musical ideas. The title is a reminder that aiming to
visualise sound is one of the most satisfying experiences our imagination can
give us through music. Written for the ASCH Trio.
