Additional info/contents	The intent of this composition is not so much to describe in music the 'look' of a city; the composer wants to convey emotional rather than visual pictures. The composition reflects the innumerable moods of today's life: energetic, dynamic and intense. In the first part of the composition, it is easy to feel the city, vibrant with life, and its frenetic rhythms. The audience will naturally be remined of chaotic traffic, and bustling pedestrians, engrossed in their daily duties. But in every city is a place where you can find peace and tranquility: a park, a hidden square, a forgotten corner. Here the mind can wander, and dream of distant places. It is, though only a small break, before chaotic city life resumes. From a musical point of view, this composition presents one theme, which then elaborates into two distinct and contrasting parts: nervous and quick at first, cantabile and relaxed in the central part. Towards the end of the piece, the two parts merge to form the climax of the work.
