Secrets of the Universe is a collection of five fantasy recital pieces designed for both young and adult pianists who have already mastered basic piano playing skills and who are searching for music either to enhance their classical repertoire or just for fun. The compositions are created in such a way that the original short melodic-rhythmical patterns, that are the core of all these pieces, are fully exploited. The pieces are actually easier than they seem at first sight, and thanks to their sonority they make a very striking and fresh impression.
