 “Yes,
I am so happy to hear musicians putting all their skill and soul into
playing my music that I myself become a performer once again: I understand
their problems and I seek solutions as a performer rather than as
a composer who is unhappy because his work is not being played as
he would have wished.” |

“My musical creation is a continuation
of the great Russian tradition. It may seem conservative in a modern
era, but I have faith in posterity: consider for example the current
revival of Miaskovsky and Medtner. I am convinced that my music will
follow the same path. I love the sweeping melodies and clear, rich,
polyphonic harmonies that emerge or indeed the very contrary, illustrated
by Mahler’s work, my favourite composer throughout my whole life.
My rhythmic pattern however is simple and is governed by the melody.
I have managed to adopt a personal note in this area, rather similar
to that of Miaskovsky, yet without adopting the trenchant style of
Shostakovich which is immediately recognisable.” Répertoire,
