Scherzophrenia (2002)

Challenging; about 6:20. As the title suggests, Scherzophrenia is six minutes of frequent and sudden variations of texture and wild mood swings.  There are no literal repeats of any portion, though the melodic material adheres to a strict diet of minor 2nds and major and minor 3rds throughout.  The texture is fragmented until measure 61, where it finally achieves a motoric character that was only faintly foreshadowed.  $10, including piano score, parts, and demo disk. Order here.
