Stunning work - lovely melodies with great dynamic control. A fantastic composition :-)

Igor writes here very creative piano pieces with unexpected melody paths

Beautiful and distinct, strong character emanates from both preludes, it is hard to tell which I like better.

Amazing preludes and fantastic playing. Brilliant!

These two preludes were written specially for Maryam Ilyasova in 2006 and were performed in the spring of the same year in  the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan at the Composition Union Award by Maryam.
