The Little Prince and the Rose (petit Prince) - Veronica Yen

Little Prince and the Rose 

Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece, <The Little Prince>, has inspired me in different levels during the course of life. ‘The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.” “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” “All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.” It has always reminded me to take care the little prince inside.
 This piece was composed when I was 19. I didn’t share the piece for many years cause I wished to revise it when I have better compositional technique. Until recently, I revisited this work and decide to release it, and I didn’t altar any note of it. Maybe the initial simplicity is its best expression.
