Soliloquy for Viola No. 7

Featured Replies

Back in October 2017, I composed this piece, my 7th soliloquy for solo viola, in response to Serj Tankian's "7 Notes Music Challenge" (Check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZMJy7jO08Q). They have now chosen the best 500 from thousands of submissions worldwide and will soon choose the winner from the top 100. You can listen to the selected 500 and see the list of the top 100 in the following website:

I only listened to several of the many multi-instrumental and multi-genre compositions based on the 7-notes theme, but in my mind my continuation in the 3rd and 4th measures offers the most natural and logical one. 

Here is the link to my previous soliloquy for viola:

First of all, the given melody is really wonderful!
It seems to me that this soliloquy is pretty detailed compared to your previous works, which I actually like.
It makes it easier for the performer to understand how to play the music.

I like your variations: they are simple, yet inventive and interesting.

Well done!

Thanks Maarten! Great to know that you like and appreciate the piece.
