I played it to my daughter Alissa Firsova whom I dedicated it. Alissa liked the piece but criticised me for the boring title. She suggested immediately \u201cString of Destiny\u201d, explaining that she feels the piece as an expanding string, which leads to some important point. I did not argue and accepted the new title. Alissa played the Sonata publicly for the first time on 10th of February 2001 at The St Albans Music Club.\u00a0 She also recorded it on CDs (Megadisc MDC-7818, Meladina MRCD-40).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/USHzeKDfjbk&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-posts\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dmitri N.
