Wondering what may have become of Trixie in a world without Starlight, Lukas Vokrinek brings us this soft piece of a magician reflecting on loneliness and self-pity. There is a well-established feeling of desperation in the piano composition which serves to carry the somber melody, while the string parts accentuate the notion of loneliness and agonizing emotion. The different parts build together towards the end to create a brighter, more energetic tone, which serves as a reminder of the cheerful reality that exists in the friendship of the two best mares. Beautifully haunting and charmingly optimistic, A Lonely Teacup is a gorgeous piece of emotional composition!
