"Aperitton" is characterized by an intense introversion and sadness and expresses everything that can highlight the concept of the unique and special. The thematic material of the work is a gesture that reflects personal experience and emotion, while the various musical phenomena are manifested in the context of fantastic realism, where imagination is woven on a real level. The world premiere of the piece took place on 30/5/2022 at the Concert Hall of the University of Macedonia, by Dimitris Mexis.
