Music for Viola solo "Parthenocissus tricuspidata"
When I saw it quivering in the wind, I wanted to write a viola solo piece. It is called the scientific name "Parthenocissus tricuspidata" and the common name is "ivy". This song in not a depiction of a plant, but an idea that I feel from it. Among the many fascinating plants, the "ivy" is pretty and powerful to me, and despite being in a herd, even a single leaf has a presence.
