While I was preparing the present edition of this piece, Leonid Sintsev, the pianist and professor to whom this piece is dedicated, died suddenly at the age of 63. He was my piano professor, but above all, a mentor and a personal friend. Between St. Petersburg, his city, and Catalonia, Leonid developed an intense pedagogic and musical activity. He brought to Barcelona a different way of understanding how to study the piano and music in general. Through him, many of his students had the opportunity to spend time in Saint Petersburg and to impregnate themselves with the intense musical life of the city.

This piece was conceived in the summer of 2004 from one of these proposals, in this case, to celebrate his 60th anniversary. It was premiered in the Glazunov Hall of the Rimsky Korsakov Conservatory in the concert to commemorate this event on November 12th, 2004.

These lines are written to render a small homage to the person who has been a leading figure in piano pedagogy in recent years in our country, but above all, to a person for whom I had a great appreciation.

The composition is constructed from three brief pieces with titles which seek to illustrate a character: "Solemnly", "Restlessly", "As a rhapsody". My starting point was Chopin and his Scherzos, where I have always found a combination of these
three sensations: first, the solemn and slower elements, usually with chords of many notes, second, very restless and uneasy fragments, and finally elements that, with Chopin, always transport us to certain popular motifs. The idea was, then, to separate these characteristics into different pieces which, combined, would become the "Scherzo" from which they came. In a way, considering the character of the music more than in the music itself, this is a deconstruction which makes a reconstruction a-posteriori possible.
