'In the mists... 1912' is a contemporary classical composition by Sérgio Azevedo, a Portuguese composer born in 1968. The piece was composed in 2007 and premiered on October 20th of the same year in Lisbon, Portugal. 'In the mists... 1912' is a four-movement piece for solo piano, with each movement representing a different aspect of mist. The first movement, 'Névoa densa' (Thick fog), is characterized by a slow and mysterious melody, with the use of pedal creating a dense and hazy atmosphere. The second movement, 'Névoa fria' (Cold fog), is more dissonant and fragmented, with the use of staccato notes and sudden pauses creating a sense of unease. The third movement, 'Névoa lenta' (Slow fog), is more contemplative, with a simple and repetitive melody that gradually builds in intensity. The final movement, 'Névoa clara' (Clear fog), is the most optimistic of the four, with a brighter and more uplifting melody that represents the clearing of the mist. Overall, 'In the mists... 1912' is a haunting and atmospheric piece that captures the essence of mist through its use of melody, harmony, and texture. Azevedo's use of pedal and dissonance creates a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty, while his use of repetition and gradual development creates a sense of progression and resolution. The piece is a testament to Azevedo's skill as a composer and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his music.
