'Found at the intersection between desire and expression, two halves, separated by death, now wind through the years enacting a spectral dance. There is a reckoning with the inexorable persistence of memory, and the inability to break a compulsive and damning cycle of inarticulacy. The natural flow of yearning proves vulnerable to disruption. The years have made language thin and brittle. So we scratch our story onto the surface of ice, at the point of departure. A future is possible, but may not be permissible. A negotiation of sorts occurs, one that anxiously balances on the tip of the needle deep within the heart of all crystalline winter dreams.'

Eugen Doga writes music in all kinds of genres and styles, which makes him one of the most prolific and versatile composers. He has his own easily recognizable style. A creator of three ballets "Luceafărul”, “Venancia”, “Queen Margot”, the opera “Dialogues of Love”, more than 100 instrumental and choral works – symphonies, 6 quartets, “Requiem”, church music, and other, plus music for 13 plays, radio shows, more than 200 movies, more than 260 songs and romances, more than 70 waltzes; he is also the author of works for children, the music for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in 1980 in Moscow.

He is considered a genius and one of the most romantic composers; he is also included on the list of the twenty best and most frequently performed composers of the twentieth century.

2007, when the composer celebrated his 70th anniversary, was announced in Moldova the Year of Eugen Doga.[12] He is an honorary citizen of Chisinau, and a music school was named after him.

The World Intellectual Property Organization (Geneva) in recognition of his outstanding achievements in music awarded him with a special certificate in 2007. The minor planet # 10504 was named after Eugen Doga.

His music is recognized by the first notes - by his special, Doga’s style, which is impossible not to recognize. Doga sees his primary task in sitting at the piano and going about his work. This is selfless work for tens millions of listeners. "They listen, and through listening they believe me, believe in what I do. And I do believe in myself as a composer. So we are interdependent, we have a mutual need for each other".
