Transient Moments
Introduction
The book includes selected stories connected with the memories of exciting transient moments of the writer's life. These works, basically, have an autobiographic character and are often penetrated by romantic perception of events.
Thematic Elements
They also mention both the eternal subjects of human life and the most sensitive issues of the present. The author's favorite thoughts about the peculiarity of musicians' lives are originally fit in his short stories.
Title and Inspiration
The name of the book has something in common with the name of a piano cycle Visions fugitives written by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. The title of the cycle was derived from Konstantin Balmont's poem, and one line was taken as epigraph: In every fugitive vision I see worlds, full of the changing play of rainbow hues.
Musicians' Life and Memory
As the author of the book notices, the musician's life, being sifted through time sieve, often leaves in memory something fleeting, transient, fugitive. But if you select the right key to these events, they play by all rainbow hues, and it awakens an emotional response in the soul of the reader.
