| Description |
|---|
| Four pieces for piano in the composer`s rendering, which open the volume of Yekaterina Shatrova`s collected compositions, are perceived as a single cycle. Bright sketches with poetic names represent the main characteristic features of her style: combination of jazz rhythms and melodic patterns, going back to bebop and jazz-rock styles; swing articulation and sharp vertical harmony structure with definite compositional shemes and clear ideas. All this implies the perpretum mobile of life itself, broken melodic lines («Squirrel in a Cage», «Sunbeam»), fancy flight or improvising («Looking for a Wonder»), and subtle charm of disappearing beauty («Sing on the Sand»). |
