Listen to the soundtracks Poddubny.Russian Dancing for Trombone and Piano and Poddubny.Drawling Song for Trombone and Piano performed by F. Pavlov (trombone), Asya Ardova (piano) on the page ardSOUND of ardisonata.net

               February has become the month of new-born compositions. That time I managed to add trombone to my palette. The concert was organized by the Popular Music Section (led by V. Pleshak). Together with the trombonist Filipp Pavlov I performed Two Pieces for Trombone and Piano by S. Poddubny – Drawling Song and Russian Dancing.
The Drawling Song (largo) made me think of space and its existence inside the time. Frankly speaking, tempo largo does evoke such contemplations. Although this question is rather complicated, it’s not especially philosophical one. Every musician is chanced to come across extensive slow constructions, rather difficult to be embraced and accepted as indivisible canvases. Such extensive realities are alive, breathing and energetic as the ones of Nature itself. If you try to achieve this feeling through Israel landscapes, you’ll never make listeners tired of huge realities.
Rhythm should be as animate as the motion of the Mediterranean Sea – here it’s splashing at Netanya banks:
Distances and expanses of Galilee are sloping so unexpectedly as to evoke inexplicable ecstasy and bliss: ; ;
The Negev Desert, when night descends over it:

The Russian Dancing manifests manly nature, features of a male. The action depicted here is vigorous, dashing, awkward and finally turning to unbridled bacchanal.
Don’t you hear the stamping hooves? The Centaur, Dionysus’ true partner is pirouetting together with the dancers, like on this floor mosaic dating the Roman period of Zippori, ancient city in Israel, the name of which is translated from Hebrew as a “bird”.
These graceful birds join universal dancing on the floor mosaic of the Tabgha (Et-Tabagha) Church built in the V A. D. also in Galilee.
