Transient Moments

By Yuri Kholodov

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. 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. 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... 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 a right key to these events, they play by all rainbow hues, and it awakens an emotional response in soul of the reader".
