Phillip Sear plays a very short piece from a Russian anthology by the Bulgarian composer Konstantin Iliev (1924-88).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bulgarian composer Konstantin Iliev (1924-88) studied in Sofia, and in Prague, from whence he returned to Bulgaria to make a career as a composer, musicologist, and conductor.  His compositions include operas, symphonies, and cantatas.  I'm not sure what set of piano pieces this short piece comes from—but it evokes well the migrating birds being tossed and turned by a cold wind.
