Quintet by Serhii Pilyutikov is a virtuoso piece for a chamber ensemble in which each instrument acts as a soloist. The piece is written in the spirit of a classical concert for an ensemble and full of elements of competition. The work accumulates the sum of all languages, techniques and tools of the 20th and 21st centuries. The emotional side of the composition is full of energy and dramatic events, where each voice is similar to its entire history, lived by a soloist.
