[Machine Translation] Balkhdarian, a composer active in Armenia and Georgia (formerly Georgia), is known for his many small pieces for piano. The pieces are all influenced by folk music and are colorful and lively. The exotic melodies of "Oriental Dances" and the jumpy rhythms of "12 Armenian Dances" are characteristic of Balkhdarian. Hailapetian was born in Yerevan, Armenia. He has a wide repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary music, but he is particularly enthusiastic about introducing works from his own country and has recorded many unique works for the GRANDPIANO label.
