This is the piano creation of the composer Boris Tishchenko to be getting under listeners' and performers' skin without fail. The features peculiar to it are rarely inherent in piano music on the whole — it's both monumental as grandiose symphony canvases, distinct for dashing brilliant technique, unexhausted by ample imaginative sphere, being saturated with vivid individual thematic and structural ideas. None of these features is sacrificed for the other's sake. “I consider piano to be the kind of the orchestra, some projection of it. Therefore I endeavour  to scrupulous part-writing and wrought themes, as if I meant orchestral facture and phonations, for the orchestra is the supreme inimitable instrument for me”, — the composer uses to say.

Tishchenko's piano sonatas reveal the composer as the great master of symphony music ever living in the 20th century, so as the pianist virtuoso.

Every one of the ten sonatas is provided with its own incomparable conception; however, all of them are pierced with the spirit of Boris Tishchenko himself.

Ninth sonata by Boris Tischenko, written in 1992 features quite unorthodox three part sonata cycle. Each of the movements is based on certain genre, or rather genre prototype, represented very indirectly, those are Nocturne, Pastoral and Barcarole. 

Each genre in this sonata raised up to self-standing movement filled with deep philosophical concepts.

Nocturn is a quintessence of meditation. This trans-like state of the music is reached by endless music webbing with eventually emerging dissonant tensions building up and consequentially dissolving in music texture (one must note that this wave –like development characterizes the whole cycle).

Fuga in Pastoral that reminds at first baroque diatonic ones, is not devoid of inner nervousness, though unlike Shostakovich styles fugues it is more integral and balanced, even severely epic. 

Tischenko composing style includes dodecaphonic components as well. The last movement of the cycle is written in this manner. Broken turbulence of rhythms forms thematic structures united in one dance-like music process resembling some dilapidated waltz... 

Such is Tischenko’s music language, interwoven with many heterogeneous stylistic elements, distinctly original and immediately recognizable.
