The 12 tracks for solo piano on this album reveal Awadith's unique ideas, and are built upon a variety of influences that enrich her music. While retaining the classical foundations of her conservatory days, including Chopin, which was clearly a superficial starting point, they are interwoven with elements of everything from Bach to Kancheli through jazz and the Armenian folk songs Awadith has known since childhood. In addition, two minimalist elements, American and European, play an important role. Awadis, whose ancestry is Armenian, grew up in war-torn Lebanon and later moved to Germany to continue her musical studies. Since then, she has followed her own path and expressed herself through her music. Etudes Melodiques represents Awadith's determination to stay true to herself, to strip away the superficial and reveal the emotions beneath.My music is not typical classical, post-classical\/neo-classical, or avant-garde. What I have in mind is not a series of themes traversing a pre-determined structure, but a feeling, a picture, a story or a place. For me, the ideal is to combine my intuitive approach with the precise rhythms of American minimalism, the spirituality of European minimalism, and the sensibility of Armenian music. Because that is who I am - an Armenian, a Lebanese, and a German combined.\"--Marie Awadis \"This project not only represents my deep passion for music and creativity, but also an encouragement to engage women around the world and a tangible representation of the journey of self-discovery. It is a promise that you will pursue your dreams and beliefs, that you will choose love over fear, and that you will listen carefully to your inner voice.\"--Marie Awadis, Universal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359932682529,"sku":"28948659920","price":37.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948659920.jpg?v=1727150006","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-nz\/products\/28948659920","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
