Mosaic piano solo version by jppo

A mosaic is an image formed by small fragments of stone, wood, or other material. Each one of those fragments does not have a specific meaning by itself, its role is only revealed when we observe the formed global image. And each fragment of a mosaic usually has only one color.
Mosaic, for piano and electronic sounds, uses a similar technique. The piece is composed by a succession of phrases and musical gestures of small dimensions. They gain meaning as the work progresses in time. Each one of these small gestures is almost an independent unit, and its musical material does not need to relate directly to what precedes and follows. It will be their succession in time that will reveal the “musical color” of the piece. This work was commissioned by Viseu Conservatory of Music.
