This is a composition for two brass sections and timpani. The first brass section introduces the main melody of the piece, while the second brass section comes in once the melody is repeated; it introduces considerable ornamentation and tension into the work. The timpani provides steady, fast, omnipresent accompaniment throughout the length of the composition. The entirety of the piece is meant to reflect a determined attempt to overcome an obstacle — a push forward despite hardship and resistance. The composition is written in the key of A minor, but transitions to C major in the final two measures to represent the successful triumph over adversity.

Mr. Stolyarov composed “Industry” in 2001. The present version is played using Finale 2011 software and the Steinway Grand Piano instrument. This piece employs a rapid tempo, large numbers of massive chords, and periodic variations on the main theme. As the work progresses, the intensity and degree of ornamentation increase; this is intended to represent the accelerating effects of industrial progress.

Mr. Stolyarov’s fifth opus, composed in 2001, combines the chords and alternating moods of much of 19th-century Romantic music with the strict meter and rhythm of 18th-century Classical music. It is played in Finale 2011 Software using the Steinway Grand Piano instrument.
