Album Notes & Community Reviews

An essential realization of the Second Viennese School's rigorous methodology, this chamber work exemplifies twelve-tone composition applied with crystalline precision. The pointillist textures and extreme economy of material heavily influenced the direction of the post-war avant-garde academic establishment.
