MEMORY FOR SOLO VIOLIN
Chen Yi
About this work:
Premiered by Chen Xi at the 1st annual concert in memory of Prof. Lin Yaoji, on June 10, 2010 at the China National Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall, Beijing, China. The work was composed emotionally for the memorial concert of my violin teacher Prof. Lin Yaoji. I wrote this note on the score: "Dear Professor Lin: I wish you could hear the tune in my Memory, which sounds like my painful cry out of your name in our Cantonese dialect. I expressed my deep sorrow in the music, to remember your fatherly mentorship. Your meaningful smile will always be with us encouragingly."
Alt. versions are for solo flute, solo cello, and solo viola.
