Description: Inspired by a trip to Bratislava, this suite moves through the city's historic center. The first movement, Staré Mesto (The Old Town), depicts a walk through the heart of Bratislava. Its lively melody captures the bustle of the streets, lined with cafés and restaurants and filled with people. The second movement, Michalská brána (Michael's Gate), is a triumphant depiction of the city's iconic gate. Written in the Lydian mode, a scale common in Slovak folk music, its bold melody evokes the majesty of the gate as one approaches and stands beneath its arch.
