From the author

Ensemble rendition is, if to use famous expression of F. Nietzsche, ''la gaya scienza'', joyful studies. It’s dialogue always and if to cite expression of another well-known thinker - indispensable ''luxe des relations humaines''. Common play accustoms skill to listen and to hear not in music only, but in life also. To joke in time, to place under shoulder in time, to find necessary compromise. And another moment: to stay on the stage alone, when somebody is looking at you” or together. As the saying goes: feel the difference!
Pieces, presented in this collection, are various by their stylistics. From epically serious ''Old Legend'' till fancy-ball ''Polka-Galop'' and puted himself on Baroque clothes ''Courteous Cavalier''. From light jazz compositions till piercing lyrics of ''Melody of Rains'' and eccentric buffoonery of ''Signor Stromboli and His Dolls'' and ''Show-Booth''. Author wishes everybody, studing and performing his ensembles, beautiful emotio ns, clear joy and inspiration.
