Description
The music is atonal, with pitch material based on various cells. The overall structure is loosely ternary, with an active middle section featuring quintuple and sextuple beat divisions framed by more placid material. The music, which ranges upward to Bb4, is moderately challenging, requiring considerable dynamic flexibility and control.
