Description
These pieces were composed in 1970 and dedicated to Leonard Sharrow. This atonal and avant-garde music spans the full range up to Eb5, and includes among its extended techniques key slaps, harmonics, multiphonics, tongue-slaps, timbre alterations, air sounds, singing while playing, and vibrato manipulations. The first piece explores an interval set, and is very angular and dynamically abrupt. The second movement is in essence a multiphonic chorale. Instructions are clear, although some of the fingerings will likely not work for every player. Be prepared to experiment.
