This piece for flute and piano is dedicated to the silenced artists that perished during WWII and is inspired by two fragments that I found in the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.: an ink drawing entitled "A Brighter Future", by Bedrich Fritta, and a musical sketch of a twelve-tone row composed by the Moravian composer, Gideon Klein. I was captivated by the ink drawing with its clear expression of freedom and the still life that depicts a violin and musical manuscript containing a music motive in A-flat Major.

The construction of my composition is largely derived from the dual tonal-atonal nature of the two motives as it drives forward in thematic variations expressing the conflicting emotions of hope and despair.
