Description
The music is sometimes pitch-centric, and sometimes not. Lyrical and technical sections alternate; these sections include timbral trills, glissandi, multiphonics, playing on the reed alone, harmonics, quarter tones, and tongue slaps. The music is technically challenging and ascends to Eb5, but is very rewarding for performer and audience alike. Instructions for the extended techniques are very clear and accurate.
