<div class="gmail_extra">Strange, eclectic... but I like it. A
mixture of dodecaphonism, avant-gard, and some passages more
easy listening classical piano.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">I'm curious about composition; this is
something you wanted to achieve as it is (20 mins with some
guiding thread or idea behind), or they are various fragments
that you arranged as a whole?<br>

It's a planned composition, as much as you can plan this sort of
thing, and the length was indeed a part of the plan. It's not an
assembly of fragments though, there's a guide through it all. The
opening motto is recycled continuously, with very free treatment,
appropriate to the form (variations).<br>
<br>
There are numerous quotes in the piece too. Did you spot any ?<br>

QSynth with 8mbgmsfx.sf2 soundfont, Calf reverb. Sequenced with a
DOS sequencer in DOSemu, recorded with ecasound, trimmed in
mhWaveEdit. That's it, a very simple setup for MIDI composition
under Linux.<br>

My thanks to you and Ralf for the comments, I appreciate that you
guys took a half-hour of your lives to listen to the piece. I'll try
to make the next one shorter. :)<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
