"Dark Adagio" is a slow, and passionate piece. The chromatic half tone interval progress throughout the
composition, and soon develops into a 12 tone row. The character changes from dark, passionate to a more
determined and positive mood, before finally returning to the opening motive and fading away in the
distance.
Although the dark character of this composition is dominant, it should also convey a positive attitude.
Difficulties can be overcome. Determination and positive thoughts can triumph over the dark.
In order to convey this idea in music I have experimented with the half tone interval motive , and dissonant
harmonies.
