Slonimsky S. Round Dance, Song and Buffoonery for piano

Sergei Mikhailovich Slonimsky (born 1932) holds the centre of the Russian modern music stage, being the author of all genres compositions — from operas and symphonies to cinema tracks. The piano cycle “Round Dance, Song and Buffoonery” appeared in 2005 as the remake of two pieces initially referring to the 1950 (“Round Dance” and “Buffoonery”), to which the “Buffoonery” was added in 2005.

The cycle was performed for the first time in 2006. The Moscow listeners could enjoy it out if hands of Rinat Shakirov, and Petersburgians listened to Maria Urmancheyeva's performance.
