Description
This piece was composed in 1983, and premiered in Marpurg, Germany in December of that year by Candida Schlabach. This is a challenging atonal piece that spans the full range up to Eb5 and requires timbre changes, quarter-tones, multiphonics, and glissandi. The first movement introduces an interval set that is developed throughout the subsequent movements. The extended techniques are substantiated with fingerings, although it may well be necessary to experiment to achieve the requested results.
