in a bowl of grey-blue leaves borrows its title from a line in Osip Mandelstam’s ‘
Silentium’.
Inspired by Skryabin’s remark that his Tenth Sonata is a sonata of insects, ‘insects are born from the sun...they are the sun’s kisses...’, out of hushed expanses of trills and tremolos – as if brought about by the brush of a Chinese calligrapher – splashes of ink break the primordial homogeneity of the silk-scroll to congeal transiently into interweaving melodic lines.
