This pack includes two separate octavos. The composition A Wanderer's Song is directed to the youngest group of performers. It is a sort of a music illustration invoking a reflection of a title character on the surrounding world. The lack of a specific meaning of the literary layer enables a young performer to create an individual interpretation based on the musical course of the work. The work Rebounds has an ABA' form. Its title means reflections resulting from a phrase interchangeably repeated in the voices. The phrase is based on the word 'echo,' which functions as an ostinato. It constitutes a background for the phonetic text that the author has invented and which is comprised of syllables of various dynamic intensity scattered in the leading rhythmic and melodic motifs. The middle part is based on the B-A-C-H theme both in the literary and the harmonic layers.

Sonata for cello and piano was written between September and October of 2010. It is made up of three movements, each of which has unique characteristics. The first, Allegro appassionato, is monothematic, although the theme itself is presented in several ways. Following a vigorous start featuring cello cadenza, the movement is developed with a lively feel, alternating lyrical fragments with other energetic ones. Its conclusion is resounding.
Meanwhile, the second movement, Quasi un lamento, is introspective and fragile. A long melody is sustained by a delicate and transparent piano accompaniment, evoking once again the theme of the first movement and concluding with a Lento of descending piano harmonies while the cello follows, in octaves, with heartfelt glissando.

The third movement, Scherzando-Allegro, is a light-hearted game between the piano and the cello. The main theme is repeated once again, this time with a binary time signature. The cello uses ricochet (the rebounding of notes in a bow stroke), as well as natural and artificial harmonies in quick time. The piano part unfolds completely naturally, excluding any gratuitous artifice.

The piece lasts approximately 20 minutes.
