Imazh (meaning “image”) is a musical exploration of visual imagination within the classical sonata form. In this work, sound becomes a medium for drawing images—emotional, abstract, or fleeting. Each movement unfolds like a sequence of musical pictures, blending narrative clarity with expressive color. The cello and piano engage in a dialogue that alternates between lyricism and motion, forming a vivid interplay of texture and tone. The piece seeks to translate visual ideas into a living musical story.
