Note from the composer: For a number of years I had been thinking of writing a piece based on the sound of plucked Instruments like the mandolin, guitar and harp, so when the Dutch Nieuw Ensemble asked me for a piece I realised that this group had excellent players of these three Instruments to which I added trumpet, trombone and vibraphone and composed a one-movement Fantasy whose Dutch titles was chosen by the ensemble (meaning moods). The score opens with a fast movement that presents each Instrument in brief solos between moments for the entire group. This is followed by a slow movement during which the mandolin picks out a line of short notes. A guitar solo accompanied by the group follows and the work concludes with a coda for the sextet. The music was composed during the early summer of 1997 in Southbury, Connecticut. - Elliott Carter -.

The work (completed in December 2011) is commissioned by Vladimir Tarnopolski and his Ensemble Studio for New Music Moscow.Composing this piece it made me meditate on my relationship to Russian culture. I realised that not only Russian music is very important for me but also Russian literature, fine arts and film. I decided to write a piece which is based on imaginary dialogs with two extraordinary directors: Eisenstein and Tarkovsky. I tried to express my reactions to their visions of the world in music and find my possible connections with them. (Laszlo Tihanyi).
