"Piano trio op.67 was written in memory of the musicologist Ivan Sollertinsky who died on February 11th 1944 in Novosibirsk. The trio ends with the initial Jewish motif, disappearing into nothingness, like a question mark about the fate of the whole nation. It was the courageous act on an artist who dares to tell the truth and who, for this, in four years' time would be condemned to silence."
