‘Hevel’ is the key word that links all the pieces on this album. It comes from the Hebrew version of the Old Testament Book of Kohelet (Book of Ecclesiastes). Even though in most translations the word is rendered as ‘vanity,’ this does not fully convey its essence. For ‘hevel’ in Hebrew means ‘vapour,’ ‘smoke,’ or ‘transience.’ It also has a deeper meaning referring to transcendence, the tole of time and distancing oneself from life. Indeed, everything is bound to disappear one day, like vapour or breath.

The works selected for the recording refer to the literal translation of the word ‘hevel,’ that is to ‘transience,’ Jan Wachowski has in mind here Milosz Magin’s Preludes, his own Variations in C major, and, in a certain sense, Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s Sonatina.
