Story behind the song
Akyla is the Russian word for shark, and is the title of a short story by Lev Nickolaevich Tolstoy, which takes place off the coast of Africa in the South Indian Ocean, taken from a collection of his short stories, called "Razkazi," or, "Tales." The music, for pianoforte, is a good introduction to my compositional work, illuminating what I mean when I speak of writing from "idea to idea," particularly in a dramatic context. If you are interested in obtaining the sheet music, or an audio MP3 file, please contact me at adhikapokoya@gmail.com Suitable for good students of pianoforte at level Grade III.
