Like pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope that suddenly come together to form a whole picture, in the cycle “Wreath of Preludes” the small pieces strive to unite, connecting threads are stretched between them - sometimes similarities, sometimes contrasts, sometimes unfinished and continuing thoughts. Fifteen pieces are grouped into several microcycles: 4 - 4 - 4 - 3 - One of the possible groupings of preludes, based on the relationship of tempos and the character of the pieces. Each of the three initial groups has a mobile finale, similar to a toccata, which separates one cycle from another. All three groups contain pieces in the nature of a monologue-improvisation or introspective reflection. Three microcycles are three attempts to construct a whole, with an exit to the finale, which consists of three contrasting pieces - mocking, passionately pathetic and a monologue-farewell. This last prelude echoes the structure of the first, together they create a frame that holds the whole together. In both of these pieces, contrasting material is juxtaposed twice - sorrowful "sighs", reflections alternate with light flickering, free flight of dreams.
In concert practice, it is desirable to perform the cycle as a whole, and if this is impossible, then one should adhere to the division into microcycles.
