“My 3rd Violin and Piano Sonata was written for the Final Round of the 2018 Getting to Carnegie Competition and I’m happy to have recorded it for the first time with the fabulous violinist Nathan Meltzer - winner of the competition ..." Julian has told The Violin Channel.

"For me, writing is a process wherein mere fragments of melodies and rhythmical patters can come together in a particular way - to create something which transmits the deepest, rawest, and truest emotions ..." the Getting to Carnegie Competition Founder and Artistic Director has said.

"These ideas and rhythms can come from the ‘outside’ world of my daughter's laughter, my son's feet on the parquet, the accelerating wheels of a high-speed train ... or the ‘inside’ world of my mind ... I hope my listeners find a bit of truth in the music - and a bit of joy as well.”
