The piece depicts wavering characters as they regularly alter their opinions on almost any significant subject, regardless of realities. I n this concerto, at times the orchestra is noticeably indomitable, at the other times orchestra clings to a range of various musical styles: to subdue, compete or even accompany the soloists. The concerto begins in the form of a free expanding and transfiguring ritornello. Gradually as the solo Tar asserts its sonic world, the piece frames a sectional developmental block form. The soloist presents a number of different maqāms (modes) naviating the orchestra along into their different sonic realms. The music concludes with a formidable ritornello, however with soloist surfing atop leading the music. - Farshid Samandari Some gnats came from the grass to speak with Solomon. "O Solomon, you are the champion of the oppressed. You give justice to the little guys, and they don't get any littler than us! We are tiny metaphors for frailty. Can you defend us?" "Who has mistreated you?" "Our complaint is against the wind." "Well," says Solomon, "you have pretty voices, you gnats, but remember, a judge cannot listen to just one side. I must hear both litigants." "Of course," agree the gnats. "Summon the East Wind!" calls out Solomon, and the wind arrives almost immediately. What happened to the gnat plaintiffs? Gone...
