Programme Note

The five poems are:

1. Colors falling asleep
2. The wind
3. The smile of the light
4. The rain
5. October

The work was begun and resumed by the coming of autumn during several years, not in the mentioned order, but according to the frame of mind that provided the inspiration. The musical themes employed are post-Enescian, based on free chromaticism. The role of the piano is that of a commentary rather than accompaniment, aiming to extend the echo of the metaphors.
