For Sun's Light (Molinari String Quartet)

For Sun's Light is a three-movement string quartet piece written in summer 2015. Inspired from Plato's philosophical work "Allegory of the Cave'', the piece describes the fight of the human being to disengage from the shackles of the illusive reality, which forces him into ignorance and delusion. His aim is to see the light of the truth which belongs to the sun, outside of the cave. This disengagement is a constant, extremely difficult rising journey with many obstacles and compulsions. The person who escapes from his only known world of cavern, dazzles from the sun's harsh light. However, if he manages to face that light, he will be able to see its value and understand the idea of Agathon.
