'Pure Nonsense' is a contemporary classical composition by Latvian composer Indra Rise. The piece was composed in 2015 and premiered on October 17th of the same year at the Latvian Academy of Music and the Riga Dome Cathedral. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "Chaos," is a fast-paced and frenzied section that features dissonant chords and erratic rhythms. The second movement, "Silence," is a stark contrast to the first, with slow and sparse notes that create a sense of stillness and contemplation. The final movement, "Nonsense," is a playful and whimsical section that incorporates elements of jazz and folk music. One of the defining characteristics of 'Pure Nonsense' is its use of extended techniques, such as plucking and tapping the strings of the piano, to create unconventional sounds. The piece also features a wide range of dynamics, from soft and delicate to loud and aggressive, which adds to its overall sense of unpredictability. Overall, 'Pure Nonsense' is a dynamic and innovative composition that showcases Indra Rise's unique style and approach to contemporary classical music. Its blend of traditional and experimental elements makes it a captivating and engaging piece for both performers and audiences alike.
