These fairytale-esque and decorative musical elements are bound by the most complex relationships. The first and third paintings of the triptych, “Prelude” and “Finale”, are dedicated to the portrayal of a fairytale, and the central “Fugue” represents the musical part of the composition. 

The “Prelude” is a fantastical painting that depicts strange, exotic, seemingly underwater and prehistoric plants, realistic forms of light and light stylized in the art nouveau fashion, i.e., two darkened suns shining down the edges of their protruding discs. The painting also contains the figure of an old, grey-bearded man wearing a crown.

With its abundance of emotional and psychological tension, inner anxiety and quivering contents, the “Fugue” corresponds to the musical idea of this piece of art by creating intense and unstopping movement. The “Fugue” transitions to the “Finale”, where a relatively realistic space of nature, a bright sky thick with clouds, hangs over a polyphonically layered city.
