This is a piano rendition of a larger, more extensive work. The parts taken are like various scenes that illuminate the Ukrainian landscape. They are called Jazz from Kiev, The Cossacks, The Steppes, A Church, Tchaikovsky, and a return to Jazz. There is no cohesive unity to this work. One part flows into the next quite unexpectedly. It is quirky, dissonant, and volatile as the scenes go flitting by almost by accident.
