Description
This challenging composition, composed in 1987 in Champagne, IL, is atonal and based on motivic cells. Other than the third movement, the pieces are quite angular. There is a wide variety of textures, ranging from very spare to quite florid. The full range up to Eb5 is used, and a microtonal flattening of F#3, the only extended technique called for, is used three times.
