Zinvar: Peacemaker of the Volcanic Rifts
Zinvar’s theme has elements of expression, virtuosity, touch sensitivity, left hand 4th finger crossings, melody & accompaniment balance, and contrasting moods. This appeals to students who are musically sensitive, enjoy movies/video games, or want to play challenging sounding pieces. It can be used as a supplement to studying Romantic literature of Chopin, Debussy, or Schumann. Average Performance Time is 3:33.
Co-author Jonathan Fuller of “Trials of the Innermost” says: " [Zinvar is] Inquisitive, intelligent, and imaginative, outwardly soft spoken, but inwardly feels deep emotion and passion…I imagine a song that ebbs and flows like a river–at times placid and calming, but underneath an air of urgency that turns into a torrent of rushing melody."
