Description
The lyrical first movement is essentially a self-accompanied melody with separate staves indicating the voices. The bustling second movement features numerous tertian and quartal triads, in various duple and triple groupings, with alternating fast and slow tempi, as in a lively dialogue. This challenging composition dates from 1969, is pitch-centric, and ascends to E5, although the composer indicates E4 as an option, in which case the limit is D#5.
