Returning after a year-long break, pianist, composer and overall creative Annabelle Marie shares her art with the world yet again. ‘Valse Mélancolique – Unfinished Edition’ is her latest effort, a dive into piano-driven neo-classical territories under the formal guise of an original waltz. The composition itself is immediate and friendly, perhaps familiar too. It’s a blessing, as it allows the listeners to deeply connect with the spiritual and aural energy that Annabelle has to offer.
Evocative and poignant, ‘Valse Mélancolique – Unfinished Edition’ flourishes on a gentle, feathery grand piano, masterfully performed by Marie. The effects of the record on the listeners are undeniable; for us, that meant a heightened moment of introspection and nostalgia, a fragment of reflection amidst an otherwise chaotic and gloomy reality. Annabellie Marie is certainly not new to similar forays; boasting a sizeable catalogue, her creative flair appears never-ending.
We should note that ‘Valse Mélancolique’ is marked as an “unfinished edition”, perhaps due to its impromptu recent conception. You see, the piece was written during one morning at the end of August, when Annabelle Maries found herself basking in musical inspiration. As she explains: “Composing in a form of improvisation for me is the purest expression of mood and feelings.”
