“Departing from Shostakovich station…”(2004) for piano

• 

• 

The piece is a paraphrase on a short piece by Shostakovich for piano called “Elegia”.
The first six bars are the actual quotation from the piece, which eventually turns in a rather unexpected journey to the world of modern modal jazz and improvisation.
The piece was later included into the “23 Preludes for piano” cycle.
