‘Self-Reflection’ is a piece designed with pedagogical intentions, offering performers a platform to engage deeply with each other through an interactive and evolving musical conversation. The composition challenges both musicians to negotiate and share the thematic material, sometimes passing the lead between one another, at other times building together or altering each other's contributions. This dynamic interplay mirrors the complex thought processes and decisions inherent in self-reflection, where ideas and emotions continuously evolve, intersect, and transform.

The piece was conceived with the specific goal of providing a repertoire that aligns with the rigorous demands found in conservatories, exam boards, and various levels of Chamber Music studies. However, it also incorporates a modern harmonic and melodic language reminiscent of what is often heard in contemporary media, such as film scores, television, and video games. The composition blends influences from American film music, jazz, minimalism, and composers like Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Michael Nyman, and Hans Zimmer with classical chamber music techniques and forms. This synthesis of styles allows "Self-Reflection" to serve as both a pedagogical tool and an exploration of modern musical aesthetics within a classical framework.
