A three movement violin and piano work

"The creation of art….so mysterious and yet, the very physical embodiment of all possible emotions (and the cause of many emotions). What are the struggles an artist goes through? What tools make the art happen? How do artists dream up ideas, and then create them into a concrete form for others to experience? This is also how performing artists make the greatest impression in music history…they commission and champion new works, creating the history of the piece that they help bring to the world. They chisel away at the piece learning it, by using the tools of their respective instrument. It becomes familiar, chip by chip, and measure by measure. Then they interpret and perform it for the world. In essence, they bring out the colors, but also it’s the glaze that makes it a whole, beautiful and powerful piece to the outside world." - Jennifer Higdon
