His unmistakable style came with an urge to invent new forms that reconciled Western practice with Eastern idiom. His 'apprentice' Fugues were revised and enriched with Recitatives that conjure the colorful voices of Khachaturian's childhood in Tbilisi. Refreshingly original, amusing and provocative, the Children's Albums belong to a tradition that reaches back to Bach, Schumann and Tchaikovsky. The Maltese pianist Charlene Farrugia studied with Dolores Amodio, and with Diana Ketler at the Royal Academy of Music in London. For several years she was mentored by Boris Petrushansky. She gained her doctorate in performance under Kenneth Hamilton with a thesis on piano repertory for the left hand. In 2018 she received Malta's International Achievement Award, and was made an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in 2020. An ambassador of EMMA (Euro Mediterranean Music Academy) for Peace, under the auspices of UNESCO, she is currently on the teaching faculty at the Music Academy, Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative I: Allegro, ma non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue I a 4: Moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.3 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative II: Moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.4 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue II a 3: Allegro giocoso \u003cbr\u003e1.5 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative III: Allegro giocoso \u003cbr\u003e1.6 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue III a 4: Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.7 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative IV: Allegro vivace \u003cbr\u003e1.8 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue IV a 3: Allegro non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.9 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative V: Allegro non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.10 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue V a 2: Allegro moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.11 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative VI: Allegro poco sostenuto \u003cbr\u003e1.12 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue VI a 3: Andante sostenuto \u003cbr\u003e1.13 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Recitative VII: Allegro non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.14 7 Recitatives and Fugues~Fugue VII a 3: Allegro marcato \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Children's Album, Book I - Pictures of Childhood~No. 1.
