Jasmine Petals is a piano cycle of the seven colorful emotional miniatures. Impressed by my own thoughts about fugitiveness and fragileness of our lives, full of unexpected changes and disappointments, sad or joyful shakes, I composed these seven reflections. The contemplation of beauty and gentleness of jasmine flowers, coming and vanishing recalling fulfill the sounding of these pieces. They are individualized regarding their textures and forms. But actually they are short improvisations that relatively express my feelings, disappearing through space measurements and time, like drying and dropping down jasmine petals. Two miniatures of the cycle, miniatures V and VII, represent an idea of clocks that accompany us from our childhood to the end. As getting dry, jasmine flowers lose its petals as time shrinking out day-by-day... minute-by-minute...

 

My friend, you said, “ Time is Evil”

I think, “ Time is Happiness”

And Sender is Heaven

It can be short or lon

Your choice
