Four Postcards

for Krzysztof Moskalewicz

​

This piano suite Four Postcards includes Mountain City, Gulf, (blank) and Fate. The suite is dedicated to my family in China, whom I have missed during the recent years apart, to the beauty I have seen on the road and to all my future destinations. Working with Kryztof has been a wonderful and memorable experience. Not only his outstanding skills complimented the suites, his intuition and musical instinct largely inspired how I compose.

 

Mountain City was a 'postcard' of my grandad's hometown, Chongqing, a multi-layered woven city of laughter, bursting with noise; the last place I visited with friends and family before the pandemic in 2019. Gulf, is a 'postcard' from the Gulf of Finland which was inspired by an unforgettable golden sunset during the two-hour ferry journey from Tallinn to Helsinki. Fate, 'posted' from Lisbon, a night absorbed in the bustling streets, melancholy Fado music and colourful characters. Finally, a blank postcard, a journey yet to begin, a story yet to be told.
