Das Duo-Recital von Polina Osetinskaya und Elena Revich entfaltet ein breites Spektrum von musikalischen Dekonstruktion der klassischen Formmodelle in einer Bandbreite zwischen Strawinsky und Silvestrov. Jedes der gespielten Stücke korrespondiert mit einem anderen Segment der Musiktradition. Strawinskys Divertimento (1934) basiert auf der Musik zu seinem Ballett Le Baiser de la fée, das seinerseits von den großen Balletmusiken von Tschaikowski inspiriert wurde. Der in Kharkiv geborene und Israel lebende Komponist Leonid Desyatnikov zerlegt in «wie der alte Leiermann…» (1997), das finale Lied aus Schuberts Winterreise in mehrere fragile und zum Verschwinden neigende Fragmente. Die 1990 von ukrainischen Klassiker Valentin Silvestrov komponierte Violinsonate Post Scriptum erforscht die musikalische Dauer im Geiste der vom Komponisten begründeten Philosophie der Meta-Musik, die die sämtliche Musiktradition als Feld einer schöpferischen Einfühlung und Interpretation betrachtet. Schlieslich markiert die zweite Violinsonate (1968) von Alfred Schnittke die Schnittstelle zur Postmoderne, das Gerüst der klassischen Sonate wird dank dem expressiven Material nur erahnt, Das Stück hört sich wie eine Aneinnaderreihung von Fragmenten, die zugleicht aber durch die strukturelle Klaheit eine dramaturgische Stringenz vermitteln.
