Scherzo, Op. 83

by Louie Madrid Calleja

/

about

Inspired by many...it began with one named Maryam.

Scherzo – “joke”(as in the scoffing sarcastic type, not the jovial)

It is an exploration of aggression that remains unspoken and intensifies over time as a result of clinging to a series of ideas and views that is contrary to how ultimate reality is. The piece can be viewed as the physical manifestation of that aggression or as images created by papañca (Pali, “mental proliferation").

It’s structure is a fugato in fantasia form and is unified by two ideas – an ascending eighth-note motif of the opening fanfare and the first three notes of the fugatto subject.
