On the light of Summer for Piano (2012)

Soon we shall plunge into the cold darkness; 

Farewell, vivid brightness of our short-lived summers! 

(First two lines of the poem, Autumn, by Charles Baudelaire.)

I wrote many pieces related to the image of the poem mentioned above, mostly about 'autumn' and 'cold darkness'. In this piano piece I tried to draw 'vivid brightness of summers', the opposite to cold darkness: the images of summer, dazzling sunlight, vivid colors of grass, shiny insects moving quitely and the vigor indefinable and uncontrollable.

Three ideas come in turn that are rather clear to easily differentiate, at the beginning, but they mingle with each others, during the process of music. (Geonyong Lee)
