Mono no aware : for percussion, piano and violin / Victoria Poleva
Other authors:
Polevá, Victoria Vita
(Composer)
Description:
Mono no aware, literally “the pathos of things”, and also translated as “an empathy toward things”, or “a sensitivity to ephemera”, is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence, or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.
