The pieces by a famous Ukrainian composer Viktor Vlasov represented here are quire
recent, but they already became repertoire ones. There were two main reasons for
this. The first is that both of the pieces were obligatory at prestigious in Ukraine
accordion players contests. "Improvisation and toccata on theme AACE" on Kryvbas
Cup-2001, and "Concerto triptych" on contest named after Voyevodins dynasty (Lugansk
2002).
The second reason to draw performers' attention to these pieces was that
they both are connected to names of outstanding bayan players. Besides, this connection
appears to be an old good method have been used by a classic, when initial or full
composition of letters in a name or surname makes its theme (or its core).
So, composing theme 
,
the author used first four letters of A. A. Semeshko's name, surname,
and the name of his father. It was A. A. Semeshko to whom contest "Kryvbas Cup"
appreciate its existence".
Analogously, names of the founders of dynasty Viktor
Ivanovich Voyevodin, his sons Vyacheslav and Yuriy were used in the thematic of
Voyevodin triptych. One must note, not only the Roman alphabet was used, but the
Cyrillic alphabet also.
For example, letters of name of Vyacheslav Vasylyivich Voyevodin
were coded in the theme of the second part:
The both pieces appears to be the music which can be expressed only through bayan playing. The range of its
expression is great here, it embraces pathetic moving of soul, and irrepressible pressure as well as volition and
virtuosity.
These pieces were first performed by a famous Ukrainian bayan player Volodymyr Murza.
