Description
This piece was composed in 1950 and, while the composer is best known for his microtonal music, is traditionally pitch-centric. The music is very triadic and scalar, with frequent shifts between major and minor, with occasional other modes. The overall effect is rather folk-like. Technical demands are moderately challenging, as is the range, which ascends only to A4.
