About the Piece (program notes) :
The piece is an autobiographic & intimate expression, based
on a musical childhood memory.
As a child, I studied to play violin, and at the age of 13 I played for
the first time in a youth symphonic orchestra, conducted by one of
Israel's leading musicians, Prof.
Ami Maayani. The first piece that was
played was Bruckner's 4th Symphony. The memory of the first & exciting
meeting with the symphonic medium, as well as some anecdotes related to
the conductor's uncompromising personality, were the primary ideal &
emotional material for this composition.
The opening motive from Bruckner's 4th symphony, appears through the piece
in a hidden way, and slowly reveals itself out from heterophonic texture.
The natural melodic character of Bruckner's motive, as well as its
tonality feeling, contrasts the free & "modern" language of my
composition, a contrast which shapes the progression & structure of the
piece.
