SCHERZO
for Horn & Orchestra
The Scherzo is inspired by the famous Siegfried Ruf and has a strong hunting character. The main key of E-flat major underlines the natural sound of the action. The interplay of hunting moods, supported by the dialogue between the solo horn and the orchestral instruments, conveys a forest atmosphere with its forest spirits and nature sounds, especially in the cadenza.
This Scherzo is an ideal addition to the repertoire for solo horn and orchestra. It can be combined well with other classical horn concertos.

Music & Text
The piece is musically based on the "Solresol" language. This planned language was developed at the beginning of the 19th century by the Frenchman Jean François Sudre: a kind of Esperanto on a musical basis.
It's a thought that has long preoccupied Anna Skryleva: if music is indeed capable of bringing people together, it should be possible to use sounds to converse and unite people. So she became aware of "Solresol" and decided to compose a piece of music based on it.
First of all, a "mirror poem" was created, which is the basis for the development of the themes and their counterpoints in "Mirror".
In the middle of the work, this poem is sung by a soprano with orchestral accompaniment.
Every note in this work carries a message that can only be deciphered with the "key" of Solresol. As a principle of composition, Schonberg's twelve-tone theory could be considered a parallel. Whereby here it is the words thatdetermine the sequence of tones: an exciting puzzle.

3 IMPROMPTUS
IN C
FOR ORCHESTRA
"the trilogy of Impromptus represented an important moment of reflection in contemporary music. The 3 short but intense pieces alternate liqueid, dreamlike sections with incisive, marked passages, evoking a personal asthetic that drawns on Russian roots and, in some respects, recalls early Stravinsky."
Operaclick, June 2025, Elena Chiavegato
„drei knapp gehaltene, prägnante Stücke in einem mal keck tänzerischen Gestus, ein andermal zunächst flächig ruhevoll, dann mächtig in der Dynamik sich auffaltend, schließlich, in Nummer drei, wieder flink und orchestervirtuos: Moderne ohne Schroffheit und Hermetik und doch eigenständig in der kompositorischen Handschrift..."

Music & Text
In August 1999 I came to Berlin to continue my studies at the University of Arts. During my first weeks discovering this dynamic city I had some lonely evenings sitting infront of the piano and improvising. This is how some of the songs was created.
20 years later I decided to bring those compositions to the podium.
This is one of the versions of this piece, which could be played and sung in virious cast.
