style

Klimow's music is relatively conservative. Boris Tchaikovsky's influences can be clearly seen. This concerns the intensive motif work, the tendency towards flowing melodies and the beauty of the sound. His style is clearly tonal , the choice of genre is also more traditional. His music is always quite expressive, sometimes almost romantic. He achieved a certain level of awareness u. a. so that he orchestrated the last work of Boris Tchaikovsky, the short prelude "The Bells". But Klimow's own works are also performed by well-known musicians and are gradually becoming more popular.
