Notes by Ludwig Sears 2: The dead center is a silence surrounded by two bottom C’s on that rasping obnoxious solo-bombarde pedal. It's impossible not to recall the Pentecost Mass’s “Beast of the Apocalypse.” OM must have known how hard it is to listen through to the end of this. He addresses the aesthetic crisis through the rest of the Organ Book, successfully fusing serialism with impressionism in the final “64 Durations.”
Notes by Ludwig Sears 1: Jaw-dropping, deathly-cold serialism, with the fun-house features of unusual timbres and a quasi-“Shave-and-a-Haircut” rhythm. (Was it perhaps inspired by his student Stockhausen's "Kreuzspiel (Nr. 0)" which was booed off the stage at Darmstadt?) The Viennese are done one better: not only retrograde but inside-out-from-middle serialism is explored, including the opening zigzag World's 2nd Most Obvious Tone Row: B C Bb C# A, D Ab Eb G E F# F.

bonjour, "MrDenull" ... je pencherais plutôt pour une simple Bombarde 16 ...

@MrRaph87: cependant il me semble que l'anche dans la pédale est trop doux pour une Bombarde 16', n-est-ce-pas?

@LJBSasha : c'est vrai, j'admets ma probable erreur. admettons-donc que ce soit bien le Basson (Faggotto) 16, qui est ici requis ...
décidément, mes réponses ne sont pas assez nuancées, ces derniers temps !!
