Sextet for piano, string quartet and double bass
The creation of the sextet was initiated by my friend and fellow pianist, Alexei Lubimov. It is about my city – Moscow, where I’ve lived for almost 40 years. I love this place. But, each time I return to it from other places, I hate it for the suffocating smog; for the snow, black from dirt and chemicals; for the grim faces of passersby and for the fact that the changes in its external appearance are not always for the better. Soon, this feeling passes and I once more start enjoying the architecture, friends, and time with my family. Again I love Moscow for what it is. Pavel Karmanov
