This is a praise to modern man's solitary heroism. The pianist inside the orchestra describes the Individual inside its own world. This is why the orchestra's sonority at times tends to produce the piano's sound-aura. Sometimes soothing, sometimes hostile, and other times being astonishingly indifferent, the pianist's outer, borderline orchestral self is also an unknown land to be conquered. Now and then the external world trespasses unexpectedly in; through the orchestra and towards the pianist. The external world is the first to awaken his personality by attacking him fiercely.
-Dimitris Papadimitriou
