Iconography of Egg Tart (2014) new piano composition by Stanley Wong
Iconography of Egg Tart is a graphic score for piano
written during late Sept. to Oct. 2014. One day, Stanley received a call from one of his students. She wished to discuss some art fusion concepts with Stanley and expressed her interest to combine Visual Arts and music in her final year project of Bachelor degree in Fine Arts and design. What a wonderful idea! During the conversation, Stanley was amazed by her passion in both music and Fine Arts as well as her creativity. She is going to produce a set of pieces (compositions) in the form of paintings. That's what we called the graphic score. She will present her productions in a recital and she asked Stanley to take part in this recital too. When Stanley was thinking what to perform, an idea of creating an original graphic score immediately comes out!! Iconography of Egg Tart is just the result of such invitation. |
Iconography of Egg Tart consists of 6 short movements and is dedicated to his student Spoon Chin.

The notations are just a rough implication of the sound. Performers are encouraged to improvise freely while still respond to the score. All pitches are relative only and box/clusters notations suggest a similar notes clusters in piano. Expression markings are also a clue to the character of the movement. Pedal is left for performers' interpretation unless otherwise specified.
