Nancy Zhou, violinist recently won first prize ($10,000) at the 2009 Johansen International Competition for Young String Players in Washington D.C. Born in 1993, Ms. Zhou attends the Keystone School of San Antonio Texas. She has been influenced by her father and teacher, Long Zhou. Ms. Zhou began studying the violin when she was 4 years old.



A few words from the composer about this piece:

"The inspiration for this piece came from my fascination with musical encores, pieces that are commonly performed at the end of a concert. These short, virtuostic pieces are usually challenging for the performer, giving the audience an exclamation point to the programmed works.................. My piece is an attempt to capture the energy of the encore using a musical language that is somewhat modern but firmly rooted in tonality. My hope is that this Scherzo will capture the improvisitory spirit of the unaccompanied showcase."

從幾句關於這件作品的作曲家：

"這件作品的靈感來自我的音樂魅力與返場，演出作品常常被認為是在結束了一場音樂會。這些短，virtuostic件通常具有挑戰性的表演，給觀眾一個感嘆號，以編程的作­品.. ................我的作品是企圖捕捉的安可的能源使用音樂語言，有點現代，但根深蒂固的音調。我的希望是，這將捕捉諧謔曲在 improvisitory 舉目無親的精神力量。"
