Lyric Pieces (V.66)

A Piano suite in four movements:       

I. Illusions
II. A Smile Through Tears
III. Consolation
IV. Spectre


The Lyric Pieces were written as a gift to one of my friends, a composer and pianist, in Russia. It is an original piece, but deeply imbued with homages and inferences (some less obvious than others) to composers and pieces which I was inspired by while writing the suite.

I had the honor to premiere Lyric Pieces in June 2004 at the Rachmaninov Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.
