Enno Poppe, Rad {Part 1/2}

For two keyboards (2003)
Following description was provided by the composer:
"This piece is a kind of summary of years I've spent working with microintervals. There are roughly a hundred different scales available, of which some are used just for a few seconds. The constant returning makes for a nearly inexhaustible supply of notes. The typololgy of the scales includes:
-tempered scales with steps ranging from 1,66 to 0,1 semitones, including scales that have no octaves, like the one based on 0,96 semitones;
-scales with identical differences in frequency that grow closer together as they move upwards (spectral sections)
-sequences of chords
-combinations of various scales such that several notes are assigned to each key (...)"

@edgar0001: sehr guter und wichtiger punkt! hättest du dir vielleicht vor dem veröffentlichen deines beitrags selbst überlegen sollen...

Bei so viel Theorie kommt nur etwas raus was sich wie ein Kampf einer Katzenfamilie mit einer Rattenfamilie auf dem Pianosaiten anhört? Experimentieren ist ja OK - aber veröffentlichen sollte man wenn man was gutes gefunden hat.
