Raphaёl Novarina is a name that is
relatively new to me, but he is a composer that has been around for quite some
time, composing in a variety of styles, but mainly contemporary classical
piano, and this single Minimalism No. 1, Venus is a perfect example of that
style.
The feeling that is poured into
the music is a delight to listen to; this is quite a deep piece, even if only a
short composition of around 2 minutes. Whilst listening to the music I can see
an image of someone in an old French movie, perhaps in a moment of sadness after
their loved one has just left them. I think this is because I can feel a sense
of sadness deep within the music.
This one is part of a series of
pieces called Minimalism, of which there are 7 in total. For me personally it
was a great and colourful piece, which I just wish had gone on just a little
bit longer, as I never really wanted to leave.
