Description

This composition is atonal and strictly serial with all twelve movements based on the same row, but with each employing it in unique ways. There is a wide variety of textures, rhythmic applications and characters while ascending to C5. The work is intended for both performance and as a set of etudes, since there are few serial study pieces. It also exists in versions for flute, oboe, and clarinet. It is moderately challenging.
