Flutist - Tigran Arakelyan Pianist - Arshak Andriasov Iosif Andriasov - Musical Sketch, Op. 4 for Flute & String Orchestra In 1955, when he was 22 years old, Iosif Andriasov wrote a Piece for Flute and Piano. It was dedicated to Ruben Tarasovich Gadziev, a flutist, and relative of the composer. Mr. Andriasov said that he heard this music in his dream. I. Andriasov, in one of his conversations with Marta Andriasova (Marina Kudryashova), written down by her in brief, said that this music is "the music from other spheres. It is serene, rich (abundant), deeply dense. The icy mountains of the planets... reflection of the mountain peaks... yellow sun." In the 1960's, Mr. Andriasov arranged this piece for Flute and String Orchestra and gave it a new title: Musical Sketch for Flute and String Orchestra. - excerpt from "Essays on the Music of Iosif Andriasov" by Marta Andriasova (Marina Kudryashova) (Wife of Iosif Andriasov) Copyright 2010.
