Spirits of the Wind

Spirits of the Wind was composed during a raging thunderstorm. Through the sound of the wind, Peskanov could almost hear the voice of his first piano teacher, Rosalia. The piece evolved into a tribute to his teacher, and was used as the title track for his CD, Spirits of the Wind. Written in the traditions of Liszt and Rachmaninov, it has a thick texture and distinct, yet unusual harmonies.
