Description

This piece was composed in New Your City in 1972 and dedicated to David Manchester. The music is atonal, employing a serial technique based on the same row throughout, and is challenging, being quite angular and rhythmically complex. It covers the full range up to D#5 and also includes some extended techniques: glissandi, timbre changes, and vibrato manipulations
