It is not seemly to be famous:
Celebrity does not exalt;
There is no need to hoard your writings
And to preserve them in a vault.

To give your all-this is creation,
And not-to deafen and eclipse.
How shameful, when you have no meaning,
To be on everybody's lips!

Try not to live as a pretender,
But so to manage your affairs
That you are loved by wide expanses,
And hear the call of future years.

Leave blanks in life, not in your papers,
And do not ever hesitate
To pencil out whole chunks, whole chapters
Of your existence, of your fate.

Into obscurity retiring
Try your development to hide,
As autumn mist on early mornings
Conceals the dreaming countryside.

Another, step by step, will follow
The living imprint of your feet;
But you yourself must not distinguish
Your victory from your defeat.

And never for a single moment
Betray your credo or pretend,
But be alive — this only matters —
Alive and burning to the end.

Boris Pasternak, Summer 1956

Symphony No. 1 'In Memoriam' Op. 20/V.12 (2018) [Midi Sound Mockup]

Carlo Prampolini, piano

This work was born as due to a necessity to experiment with different ways of organising pitch/harmony material as directly related to formal articulation(s). It may seem like an 'impressionistic' work or improvised, but it is the result of a precisely controlled pitch/harmonic material whose evolution in time creates an arch-like form (progressively evolving from pentatonic material, then to diatonic, followed by chromatic, polytonal, to free atonal, and backwards)

Evans Koçja - La fille avec les yeux d'automne (2013-14), for piano

This composition for band and orchestra has bridge form ABCBA. The lively A-sections feature two acoustic and an electric guitar plus rhythm section. The slow B-sections alternate 4/4 and 3/4 meter and have a more orchestral texture (woodwinds, brass, marimba and harp). The middle agitato C-section present two interacting contrasting motives with mixed instrumentation (band, synthesizers and orchestra). The harmony combines regular chord changes with pantriadic phrases and polychords. This Midi mockup was created in Steinberg Cubase 10.

Two Bars, I Owe You Two Chocolate Bars

Slow suspense cue for orchestra (winds, brass, strings) and synthesizers. Spitfire Symphonic Library samples and Arturia V Collection synthesizers (Buchla Easel, Arp 2600).
