“Adagio in A Minor” by Tejo Madhavarapu, 12

From the composer: “‘In Adagio in A Minor,’ the rhythm keeps changing under the same time signature of 9/8, with very few common features between different bars. This piece does not maintain a standard rhythm or use lots of closely related ones, so it sounds mostly free-flowing.”

The featured artwork is “Keys of Wandering Souls” (iPhone 11 Pro) by Sabrina Lu, 13. It appeared in the February 2023 issue of Stone Soup.
