The piano cycle Castles in the Air was composed at the request of the composer’s former piano teacher, Ella Foking. Intended for young pianists, these pieces are technically accessible while offering genuine musical depth.
Yet the inspiration behind the cycle lies not so much in childhood impressions themselves as in an adult’s wistful dream of returning to that lost world — a poetic evocation of innocence remembered rather than directly experienced.
