Your neighbours must love you!

given the level of physicality involved in performing this piece its essence may entail more than an exploration of the use of tone clusters. in point of fact, it shows Cowell having a rowdy old time with his piani. hence, that close-up of your crotch at the very end is more in keeping with the piece than you may have imagined.

@luckylytoothless If you live in the U.S., the score's publicly domained, and available at IMSLP.org. If you live elsewhere, you're out of luck.

I cannot stop listening to this piece. So fucking good.

at :50 when you start hitting with your left arm, how do you hit all the chromatic notes? I have a hard time getting every note down with my arm. It's easy when you use only your hand like in the beginning, but once its the arm its tricky.

Great work. Loved the piece, very expressive. The first recording of this I've heard! Awesome.
