about

“Fragments” is a set of thirteen piano vignettes written between 2019 and 2021 as a continuous narrative, reflecting on the different aspects of contemplation: poetic, emotional, meditative, melancholic and restrained. Also, "Fragments" bridges two cities that became central in my life: London and Saint-Petersburg. Each movement written in one of them and almost every piece carries images and mood of these cities that are so dear to my heart. A few pieces have direct relation to works of composers I have always admired and grown up with. "Prelude" and "Lament" inspired by Ravel's short pieces and "Pavane" employs theme from his "Ma mère l'Oye" pavane. "Pastorale" draws the mood and setting from Aaron Copland's pastorale piano works. "Waltz" and "Elegia" inspired by Debussy's early compositions. "Novelette" is directly related to Sergey Banevich's "Mermaid" children's album and pictures Baltic Sea waves and west wind blowing over the waters.

I want to express my gratitude to Elena Oleynik who always supported me and believed in my music. To Evgenia Tarasova who kindly allowed me to use her works as an album artwork. Work entitled "The Day We First Met" used as a front cover of the music album and sheet music and "When We Didn't Know Each Other" as a back cover of the sheet music book.

I sincerely hope that listener will find peace and tranquility listening to this suite and will be able, even for a moment, to set aside all the troubles and rush of the day that belongs to our lives almost permanently.
