This is a part of the first performance. Composed and conducted by me. Well, all the orchestra players and choral singers work for free, they do not recieve money for that. But after al we need some money. If you are able to donate, please, do it. I live in the city named “Kirov”. Our city has good history. During the time of imperial Russia it was called “Vyatka” and many great people lived and worked here. As a result cultural level of the city was very high, even the Temple of the Christ-Savior has appeared for the first time in Vyatka as the Aleksandro-Nevsky Cathedral. But in the early years of the Soviet rule much has been destroyed. But now it is not better for the people living here. I was coming back home yesterday evening. I saw the company of dozen girls, probably pupils of a school. They loudly shouted a "song" which was full of profanity. They drank vodka directly from a neck. It is only one of set of examples. What became with townspeople if in the morning when I come to work or study from off my home, at an entrance children take drugs?! The culture gradually degenerates. And that else remains, is actually on the verge of beggarly existence. Certainly, musicians are ready to work for free of charge, but it would be desirable to eat something too! Therefore orchestral players and choristers have to work much for the salary at a rate of 3000 roubles (100$) per month. After all our musicians really are professionals of high level. But it looks like we are necessary to nobody. I think that with a good level of the organisation and financing the Vyatka culture can rise on to the high level.

Well, the first movement is in sonata form, so the first theme is a description of a man. Two other themes are the world - something good and bad. The hero of the music is between this poles apart. And finally he lose all his hopes. Everything crushes. Second movement is about trying to find a way to be. You think you almost found this way, but it was just another mistake, and it crashes. Third movement is a consolation in being simple.

The melody should be simple so you'll be able to make some changes. It is better to make it in 4-voices harmony. In the first variation you may change texture (for example, using harmony figurations), add some new voices, add ornaments to the melody, but DO NOT change the tone. Second variation may be in the parallel tone (for example, if the melody was in D-dur, it will be h-moll). The final variation is have to be written in the main tone. You can simple replay the melody or make it in the polyphonic style. Then you may add a coda. Theme of 8 bars is a period consists of 2 sentences, I think. First sentence of 4 bars should be finished with dominant, and second can be a variant of the first but using full cadence. See how Mozart did it in the first part of his piano sonata in A-dur (K331). P.S. Sorry for my English. I'm russian, so I used the russian terminology. Hope you'll understand.
