"Miss Zaimont's 'Nattens monolog,' with a text by Dag Hammerskjold, is a progression of shifting scenes and moods, all hovering around the idea of death. Its elegant piano accompaniments, the greatly varied but always coherent melodic writing made this piece intensely interesting and at moments quite beautiful."
