Recitative, Nocturne and Scherzo

"The author is a little skeptical about the interpretation of meanings and concepts in music, especially in his own, and it will be easiest for him to refer to the words of Igor Stravinsky:

“Music expresses nothing but itself”.

The author can only add that this composition was written with the expectation

that it would interest not only the public, but also be an thrilling, difficult,

exciting challenge for violinists and pianists.

As a violinist and pianist, I can say that in this work I tried to reveal diverse

possibilities and virtues of the violin and piano, without trying to bring

virtuosity to the fore, but first of all to create an interesting piece of music."
