Volo volare

This expressive piece captures the excitement of creation and the aspirations of a future in writing music tempered by trepidation. The slow theme at the beginning represents hope and longing for artistic success; a four-note motive represents the joy and act of creation, and the chaotic chromatic theme is the creeping of doubt. The final product is a sonic storyboard of sorts; imagine a character cartoonishly oscillating between careful planning, frenzied invention, and destructive failure. Whatever the listener's interpretation, the uninhibited joy and excitement of the piece are apparent.
