<b>Pathétique</b> is designed to stir emotions, evoking feelings of sorrow or pity. This original, stirring composition was crafted by Tito Abeleda for both string orchestra and string sextet, serving as a cathartic outlet for processing melancholy, introspection, and profound contemplation. The piece starts with a poignant violin solo that establishes the melodic theme and mood for the entire work. As <b>Pathétique</b> progresses, it gradually intensifies, incorporating each string in turn.
