Solo Compositions by Gabriele Proy (Austria)

Campanula

for Solo Violin or Campanula Violin (2014)

“Hear, listen to what is within and then go deeper – the timbre of the 7 resonance strings of the campanula violin unfold poetic sound spaces and colours in my piece ‘Campanula’. Sound cascades, tonal sequences that are rich in overtones, bell-like sound spectrums – the soundscapes call to mind the magnificent colours of the bellflower in all its glorious shades of blue, but also lilac, white and even bright yellow.”

The solo piece “Campanula”, for which the composer received the Composition Prize of the City of Vienna in 2014, is dedicated to the violin virtuoso Elena Denisova, who played it to great acclaim at its world premiere at the First International Campanula Music Festival in Schifferstadt on 16 August 2014.
