Pan Cogito Ponders Why He Did Not Join N. And The Family In Kyiv, Lviv, And The Carpathian Mountains For The Next Six Weeks

Pan Cogito tries to imagine what the upcoming world premieres of Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #4 and Ravi Shankar's new Symphony will sound like, while his colleague tries to remain focused on the current task at hand. Pan also contemplates the Oświęcim Oratorio that Henryk Gorecki began 40 years ago, but which remains unfinished.

Kyiv, Lviv, Oświęcim, and the European Carpathian mountains are all on the UNESCO World Heritage and World Biosphere list.
