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).

There are numerous quotes in the piece too. Did you spot any ?

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.

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. :)

Best,
