and that which cannot remain silent

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.
The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do.
You can act to change and control your life;
and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

There’s a very basic human, non-verbal aspect to our need to make music and use it as part of our human expression.
It doesn’t have to do with body movements, it doesn't have to do with articulation of a language,
but with something spiritual.

York Bowen's Phantasy in F Major for Viola and Piano is a gem of the early 20th-century repertoire, blending the rich, warm timbre of the viola with the piano's resonant clarity. Composed in a single, continuous movement, this work is imbued with romantic sensibilities and a forward-looking harmonic language that captivates listeners from the very first notes.
In this 2023 recording by Claves Records, the duo of Alla Belova on piano and Izabel Markova on viola brings Bowen’s nuanced composition to life. The performance is characterized by its lyrical phrasing, dynamic interplay, and a profound understanding of the composer’s intent.
