Composed by Gershon Wolfe. 20th Century,Baroque,Classical,Contemporary. 3 pages. Gershon Wolfe #2016879. Published by Gershon Wolfe (A0.1018547).This piece of music is composed for solo violin. An atonal structure having no reference to any particular key. Using the octatonic scale (i.e. set class [013568A]), as the fundamental structure, and then growing each note in the scale with pre-determined set classes creates this pattern of phononic sound. Using set classes [027], [012], and the complement of set class [027], which is [01235678A], creates the harmonic structure for this piece. Set class [027] is interesting because it contains an axis of inversional symmetry, and hence, has a relation to set class [012]. Elements of the twelve-tone-technique, such as prime form, retrograde, inversion, and retrograde inversion, are used to add depth and dimension to this piece. The difficulty of this piece is classified as: easy to play. Two pages in length and contains 52 bars of notation. The sound is a bit creepy with bursts of tonic fluorescence. Please enjoy playing this composition for solo violin. Sincerely, Gershon Wolfe, Ph.D.
