“Chopin in Blue” Scores and Parts

Description

Chopin in Blue is a piece for violin, cello and piano. It was written in 2018 for Atlas Trio (Negar Afazel, Jon Barnes, and Chris Gray) and premiered by them on November 18th, 2018 at Western Michigan University. This piece is a tribute from a composer to a composer. Meaning, it does not have to be specifically Kozhevnikova’s to Chopin tribute. It was inspired by the reflections about the life of creative people. While there are definitely a lot of insights on the artist’s way, there are also periods of struggles and doubts. This piece is particularly about the mood of blues in a composer’s life.
