Description
This piece was composed in Aspen, CO. in 1979. Lyrical outer sections featuring frequent quarter-tones frame a rhythmically challenging middle section. The music is atonal and cell-based, with the quarter-tones used as variants of the cells. Fingerings for most of these are provided. No other extended techniques are required. The full range is used up to C5.
