The jury's reasoning

In this performance, music is a supporting element and an important dramaturgical partner to the text, movement and scenography. The musical starting point is a classic ballroom dance of folk origin – for most composers, a rather narrow framework. But the composer manages to vary the form in such a way that it constantly deepens the emotional content, constantly illuminates the material in new ways and constantly develops interestingly as music. And thus the original genre is also renewed. The composer shows impressive craftsmanship and great artistic understanding of the content of the piece. Through his participation, he makes an important contribution to releasing a bold idea.
