„Ostinato super Thema Octoicha presents an exceptional task for the pianist. Though technically simple, reduced to the level of finger-training exercises for children, it calls for absolute peace and uniformity, regardless of what goes on in the orchestra, which requests renouncing of all expressiveness, all manners, and obtrusiveness, particularly the romantic ones.“ (L. Marić)
