Description:
When I came to Sydney from Russia in 1975 with my sister and parents, we took only a few belongings with us, including beautiful hand-embroidered bed linen. It was so valuable that we never used it. One day I wanted to take a look at these treasures but found that they had moth holes. To ease the pain of losing the family heirloom, I decided to write this piece,' says Elena Kats-Chernin. The result was a ragtime (the English word 'rag' also means 'shred'), interspersed with pauses symbolising the holes. Staccato notes, especially in the clarinet part, represent the biting moths.
