This version for English Horn was premiered by Kostas Tiliakos in 1998 and published in 2013 in its final form. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE COMPOSER \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBorn in 1960 in Athens, Minas studied piano with Marika Papaioannou and George Platon, and theory and composition with Yannis Ioannidis.
