about

Fountainheads
I. Mozart on Joy
II. Beethoven on Struggle
III. Bach on Transcendence

Each piece samples selected repertoires from the composers mentioned in the title. Each of them is a meditation on finding peace in conflict, joy in sadness, and freedom in confinement. There are three concepts from ancient Greek philosophy corresponding with each movement: Ataraxia (Epicurean idea of the mind free from fear of death), Apatheia (Stoic idea of the mind free from violent passions and emotions), Eudaimonia (blessedness). As the writing began, I was at once deeply inspired by the generosity of Yerba Buena Gardens Festival but also moved by people’s pain from the pandemic. My hope is that these pieces alleviate the sufferings of whoever listens, as they have helped cope with mine.
