D-S-C-H variations

/1997/

The graphic form of variations is the square, shared to two crossed musical staffs on four sectors, each of which represents a variation on one of notes of theme D-S-C-H. The sequence of performance of sectors is defined by the note located in the center of crossing which in different keys is read differently: either as D, or as S, either as C, or as Н. A musical basis of variations were fragments various on a genre of compositions of D.Shostakovich in which   piano is prevail - first prelude from a cycle “24 preludes for Piano”, the Waltz - joke and also solo piano from the first part of his I Symphony.
