Duration:

11’30”

Instrumentation:

2 Pianos

Programme Note

This is one of my first compositions, written during my undergraduate studies at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. It is a very sonorous composition – the harmonies are very dense, forming clusters, and the use of different registers of the pianos is more important than the actual pitch. Overall, it is a joyful, energetic, and youthful piece, written as a concert piece to uplift one’s energy rather than for deep contemplation.
