His aesthetics based on a global idea of the rise and embellishment of the human ego. Composer affirms:

"I'm absolutely persuaded that the true Art is eternal and not confined at only one epoque as can claim it" contemporary "art. This is why its major direction, esoteric, troubles me so much, and I enormously like to make it divide. My goal is above all, to re-give again to the modern music the heat of the major emotions; to give to the human being forces to believe anyway in the cathegory of the beauty. In the major crisis of this end of the XXème century, I dream of a new Rebirth which would benefit all the possibilities already present in the Russian music.

And if I manage to transmit, would not be - only a little, these values to the people, who have the same need, I would be able to say that my efforts will have been neither premature nor useless ."
