Work introduction
"a rose-toned fragment" is an evocative work for solo harp, dedicated to Austrian harpist Elisabeth Plank. Written with sensitivity and nuance, this piece showcases the harp's delicate and shimmering tones. There is a sense of fragility and delicacy to this work, with the harp's higher range lending a fragile and ethereal quality to the sound. Yet, there is also a sense of depth and complexity, with the usage of harmonics to add texture and nuance to the piece. It is a beautiful and expressive work that makes it a compelling addition to the solo harp repertoire.
