Piano solo cycle “Reflections in the Window”
For a long time, I hesitated to compose for solo piano — I always imagined my music played by ensembles, surrounded by many colors and voices. But one day, sitting by the window, I began writing a series of short pieces. That’s how this cycle was born.
The image of a window has always been special to me. When you sit quietly and look through the glass, you don’t just observe the world outside — you also see your own thoughts, memories, and dreams reflected back at you. Sometimes the view is clear, sometimes it’s rainy or foggy, but it always carries a certain emotion, a moment in time.
Each of these 13 pieces — or, more precisely, 12 plus one — captures a single fleeting moment from each month of the year. And while the feelings behind them are personal, every listener or performer is invited to imagine their own story behind each piece.
Instead of traditional tempo indications, each piece begins with a word that evokes the emotional landscape it was born from. For example, the first piece is marked Piovoso — Rainy. It was written in a single breath on a rainy day, when everything outside the window — and inside myself — felt uncertain, blurred, like the future behind a veil of rain.
