Work introduction
The piece was composed for the Piano Duo Festival Berlin and is a fantasia on the year 2022. It is a loop piece, where the beginning and the end are identical, allowing it to potentially be played infinitely. The piece is not divided into different movements, but three themes can be identified: at the beginning, "Warning," in the middle section, "War," and then the "lyrical part." At the end, the piece returns to "Warning," and finally, a "chord of hope" is heard. The piece "2022" was premiered on March 15, 2023, by "Two4Piano" at the Mendelssohn Remise in Berlin, and later that year, it was also performed at the Piano Duo Festival in Amsterdam by Duo Shalamov.
