about

Joy-Filled Afternoon is considered the second movement to Honey-Metered Morning, starting with an upbeat rhythmic melody that was stuck in my head for many years and is introduced by the cello. One of my favorite parts of this track is the rhythmic middle section. While writing this section, I intended to write an homage to Beethoven’s Rasumovky Quartet no. 1, the rhythmic syncopations in the Theme Russe. I must admit that I failed, as that syncopated rhythm wouldn’t fit the way I imagined it. Instead I wrote a simpler rhythm that is more appropriate to the piece.
