Description
This piece was composed in 1978, and was the First Prize winner of the 1978 IDRS composition Competition. The music is pitch-centric and motivic, with a single motive developed in each sketch. While not cyclic, the motives are clearly related to each other. This piece is challenging, requiring a facile technique up to D5.
