This volume contains piano works from the years 1996-2003 in which Silvestrov's new compositional language becomes clearly apparent: Although the music shows, both visually and acoustically, Classical and Romantic components, Silvestrov's earlier experience of avant-garde techniques of composition is recognizable.
