About the work:

Themes of intense bravura, sorrowful longing, mysterious passion, and tempestuous energy haunt the
composer’s mind. Like a novelist whose characters take over to dictate how the story will unfold, the
composer becomes a mere vessel for this thematic material to express itself; the themes quarrelling in
his head, each demanding an opportunity to weave its story, to prove it is the theme truly worthy of
Apotheosis“.
