La Malinconia I - for piano solo

Commissioned by Regina van Berkel / Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet

La Malinconia I (the melancholy) for piano solo was written in 2011 for the ballet 'Simply Marvel,' created by Dutch choreographer Regina van Berkel on behalf of Cedar Lake, a renowned modern dance company in New York. The piece has a clear build-up of tension and is based on the use of a very short, two-tone motif. – Theo Verbey
