About this work:

The seven piano miniatures which comprise Space Explorations were composed between 1994 and 2004, and afterward identified by the mythical connotations and astronomical characteristics of celestial bodies such as the North Star, the brightest stars of constellations Lyra, Leo, and Scorpio, and Iapetus - the eighth moon of Saturn, singularly divided into equal zones of dark and light.
1. Polaris, The North Star (…apparently constant, unmoving)
2. Antares, alpha star of Scorpius (…brightest star of the Scorpion)
3. Auriga, constellation of the Charioteer (…proud processional)
4. Vega – alpha star of Lyra, the Harp (…song of the Love Goddess)
5. Aquila, constellation of the Eagle (…flight of the eagle)
6. Iapetus – eighth moon of Saturn (… equal zones of dark and light…death and rebirth)
7. Regulus, alpha star of Leo the Lion (magnificent heart of a lion)
