"Jeśli tytułowa powierzchnia jest miejscem styku dwóch oblicz tego samego świata, to za którym z nich opowiada się rzeczywistość naszej egzystencji? Powierzchnia staje się taflą lustra, w której podmiot ogląda swoje uprzedmiotowione odbicie.

Jakie możliwości daje kwartet fortepianowy? Jak bardzo różniło się na przestrzeni czasu podejście do tego składu kompozytorów tej samej narodowości?
