Description
This challenging atonal piece was composed in 1989 and dedicated to Valery Popov, and was first performed by him in Moscow on April 27 1994. The music contains extended techniques (microtones, microtonal trills, and glissandi) and covers the full range up to E5, often with extremely wide leaps.
