Spiral Stairway unfolds through gradual harmonic development and sustained melodic phrasing. The piano establishes a stable yet introspective framework, while the cello carries expressive lines that move between stillness and subtle dramatic tension.
The piece balances calm reflection with emotional depth, allowing space, resonance, and controlled dynamics to shape its melancholic character. The architectural sense of ascent suggested in the title is conveyed through progressive harmonic layering rather than overt rhythmic drive.
In 2022, the work was reinterpreted for brass quintet and released as part of the album Brassing Reflections – Album (2022), offering a brighter and more resonant timbral dimension while preserving its contemplative core.
