Improvisation #9 (with Matteo Parisi)

Four-handed piano improvisation by Alexey Pegushev and Matteo Parisi on the poem below by the Russian author Andrei Platonov (1899-1951). March 2019, Oxford, UK.

Когда я думаю, я слышу музыку,
Поют далеко голоса.
И светит солнце слепому узнику,
И песне-мысли нет конца.

Над головою дышит бездна,
Непостижима и ясна
Дорога вышла в неизвестность,
Где вечно светится весна.

Лицо вселенной там прекрасно,
Её смертельна красота,
Звезда упала, летит и гаснет --
Над нею выше высота.

***

When I think I hear music,
Voices are singing in the distance.
And the sun is shining to the blind prisoner,
And there is no end to the song of thought.

The precipice is breathing above the head,
Unattainable and clear.
The road has entered the unknown,
Where spring is ever shining.

The face of the universe is beautiful there,
And deadly is its beauty.
A star has fallen, is flying and dying out --
Above it are the highest heights.

Unattainability (Improvisation #10 with Matteo Parisi)
