Description
This piece was composed in 1975, and premiered in Stockholm in April 1998 by Knut Sönstevold. The music is atonal, often quite angular and rhythmically jagged, but only moderately challenging technically. The range extends to C5. The intermezzi are related by motive, and feature a plethora of trills.
