Young Musicians Award 2024 - scores
"Inexorável" is a piece that delves into the depths of human emotion, exploring the overwhelming sensation of internal conflict. Predominantly divided between two tempos, "Veloce" establishes a technical constancy, reflecting an unshakeable nature, while "Lento" is characterized by melodic nuances that capture the oscillation of the soul.
