Digital Sheet Music [PDF]: ScoreMirage : for piano [eScore] / A.D.K. Voltz.by Alexander Voltz (2018)

Product details
Initially, I was inspired to write a piece about perception: what
we perceive to be true or untrue, real or unreal. This idea
eventually took a narrative form, and I began to imagine a man
lost in a desert. On the verge of death, a shimmering city
appears before him - or perhaps it is a caravan, or an oasis -
and he madly runs towards it. Finding nothing where there should
be something, the man succumbs to his fate.
For me, Mirage represents a changing state of my being:
"challenging what could be" has become "accepting what is" - and
I believe such a mindset is important, particularly in our world.
I think idealism died with the turn of the century, yet too many
hope to resurrect it. And yet, just like the character within
Mirage, thought and action precede realisation, and I am not for
a moment suggesting we sacrifice this journey, a journey
fundamental to our very existence.
