Mitte
Mitte for viola trio by Bianca Bongers, performed by Trio Estatico, reflects on external pressures and societal struggles, inspired by the 2020 lockdown and further deepened by the war in Ukraine. The piece represents continuous movement towards a central point, symbolizing the overwhelming influence of uncontrollable forces.
"Mitte for viola trio" by Bianca Bongers was inspired by the personal experience of the first lockdown in 2020, where the composer reflected on how external influences converge toward one central point, persistently. The ongoing war in Ukraine provided a second perspective on this. The piece was written as a musical response to the feelings of helplessness and societal struggles, with the composer emphasizing the importance of creative expression as a way to channel these emotions. The composition uses sounds that symbolize continuous movements, converging from various directions toward a single focal point, a metaphor for the pressure of external forces. The composer visualized this through drawing triangles, symbolizing shattered fragments, each pointing inward. The piece was performed by Trio Estatico, a dynamic viola trio known for exploring contemporary repertoire.
