Description
This piece was composed in 1981 and revised in 1984, and contains numerous glissandi, the only extended technique required. The earlier edition included flutter tonguing and microtones. The music is marginally pitch-centric, and is based primarily on intervallic cells. There is much rhythmic variety and vitality in this challenging piece, and a balance of lyrical and disjunct lines over the full range to Eb5.
