210 refers to the effects of the radioactive substance polonium-210
that was used in the murder of the former KGB/FSB officer Alexander
Litvinenko in November of 2006. The beginning theme occurred to me as
I was watching a scene in the documentary film "In Memoriam", where
his father stands over the flower-covered grave. This piece, in a
series of mutations, is an unavoidable emotional response to the event
and its implications as well as a musical reflection of the body's
interaction with polonium-210.

Yulia Musayelyan, Molly Filer - flutes.

Nerves is an etude study for two flutes. The title and sound come from my incessant spinning of run-on thoughts fueled by nervous energy. The two flutes are in 8-measure canon throughout the piece, except for the brief middle section, which is marked by held notes and equal rhythmic figures in intervals of major seconds. -Y.Musayelyan (c) 2007
