Year: 2005 | Type: Single-movement work for piano quintet (string quartet & piano) | Duration: ca. 5' 15''
Portrait is a piece I wrote in August 2004 as a gift to Adolf Sobrevilla, to whom it is dedicated. As the title suggests, it is a portrait, an attempt to describe a person—not physically, but emotionally—through music. The original version called for a string orchestra and piano, but I was never completely satisfied with that solution, so later I decided to reduce it to a piano quintet.
