"Reflections" for piano (1989)

Susan Bradshaw, Piano

_________________________

This play was written for Susan Bradshou, who had already played quite a lot of my works before. Now this play is performed by some other pianists. This is especially often done by Jean-Pierre Armango.

This composition is somehow no longer connected with my solo piano plays, which I have very few, but rather, it is closer in writing to how, for example, the piano is interpreted in my piano quintet. And in comparison with all other piano works, if you take the little that I wrote, the play “Reflection” is perhaps the most difficult.

It goes 12 minutes, no more.

This is a quiet, lyrical composition ...

- Why does she have such a name? Is this somehow connected with some mirror elements in its structure?

-No: in places there, indeed, there are elements of such, in general, as if reflections, but, rather, it still came from the mood. Here's how Debussy has “reflection in water” - this is rather from the nature of music.

I have some pages here - not a manner of writing, no! And not in relation to the piano, but in such their sophisticated poetry - sometimes they echo with the composition “Signs on White”. But “reflections” - the play is more complicated both musically, and pianistically, and in dramaturgy - sometimes there is a certain drama, which, of course, is not in that essay.
