From "Notes on DIVINER":

While Yvar Mikhashoff (1941-1993) was best known as a pianist and new
music advocate/entrepreneur, he was also a composer of a considerable
and varied body of work. DIVINER is the first piece in a trilogy of piano
pieces ELEMENTAL FIGURES which occupied him in his final years. His avowed
goal was to compose a piece which continued a grand line of instrumental
virtuosity for the piano begun primariy by Liszt which in his estimation ended
with Ravel in GASPARD DE LA NUIT. Indeed it is Ravel's work which inspired directly
the form and poetical allusions of this piece.
