The collection «Petersburgian Variations» is devoted to the evolution of the large-scaled construction in the Russian piano music.
Performers are welcome to travel to the birth-time of romantic variations and sonatinas starting with Glinka and Dargomyzhsky, thus following this genre's elaborating in the contemporary Petersburgian composers' creation.
