Composed by Haydn Reeder. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score and parts. 7 pages. Haydn Reeder #3448243. Published by Haydn Reeder (A0.953831).Suitable as an exciting inclusion in a concert setting, this guitar duo lasts about 5 minutes. At times there are a few extended techniques required, all confined to playing on the strings, such as raised pitches, glissandi, harmonics and pizzicato.
To explain the title: there are several distinct gestures or textures which circulate through the piece. However, only one is heard in its original form on its return. It features an intermittently repeated low chord on one guitar while the other traces a slow high two-part shape. After being introduced, it is contemplated for quite a long time and during this initial phase is returned to several times. Here, the composer is like an alchemist who is reflecting on the results of a successful experiment. At its later return this central idea is only briefly referred to. The final section could be described as a thumping toccata.
