- Recording Notes
- The piece Stanza for alto flute, violin, cello and prepared piano was commissioned by the Platforma project and first performed by London’s ensemble Apartment House in Moscow in 2014. The Italian word ‘stanza’ literally stands for ‘a room’, but the same word can be also translated as ‘strophe’ or ‘verse,’ denoting a finished thought in poetry. According to the composer, “in this way, the form of the expressed thought is described in the language of a spatial object. Non-verbal experience describes the verbal and conditional form. My Stanza is an attempt to find such a connection between space and music, in which they do not describe, but express each other and alternately endow each other with new forms and qualities, placing the listener in different relationships with feelings arising on this or that side of sounds”.
